ArcGIS API for JavaScript
The ArcGIS API for JavaScript is a browser-based API for developing high performance, easy-to-use mapping applications. The API allows you to easily embed maps in your Web pages. The JavaScript API is hosted by Esri on ArcGIS Online.
What can you do with the ArcGIS API for JavaScript?
You can use the ArcGIS API for JavaScript to bring maps and tasks from ArcGIS for Server into your Web applications.
For example, you can:
- Display an interactive map of your own data
- Execute a GIS model on the server and display the results
- Display your data on an ArcGIS Online basemap
- Search for features or attributes in your GIS data and display the results
- Search for addresses and display the results
Use the ArcGIS API for JavaScript to access information from several different servers in one application. One common reason you might do this is to display some of your own information on top of a basemap from ArcGIS Online or from other Web sources. In another scenario, you might use a model on one server and display the results on a map from a different server. This combination of information from multiple Web sources is called a "mashup".
