Esri Developer Summit

The ArcGIS API for JavaScript lets you build powerful interactive mapping applications. Learn how you can turn your raw data into information with simple layer styling, rich pop-up windows, and interactive data-driven visualizations.

Let your data drive your visualization

Smart Mapping

• Introduced in 3.13• Takes the guesswork out of:

- What colors to use…for fill, outline, background fill outline, etc- What opacity to use on each color- What size to use for lines, markers, outlines on markers- What size is appropriate for what scale

• Does this by looking at the data, the basemap, and the story you want to tell

• Data driven defaults

• Used by authoring and data exploration apps
