An application built with the ArcGIS JavaScript API that optimizes routes and creates multiple buffers and a surface profile.

The ArcGIS JavaScript API enables you to use ArcGIS Server services to build lightweight, high-performance, and pure browser GIS applications. Use the ArcGIS JavaScript API to embed a map or perform a task such as querying spatial data in your Web application.

With the ArcGIS JavaScript API, 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.

The ArcGIS JavaScript API also includes extensions for Virtual Earth and Google Maps, which allow you to extend the Virtual Earth software development kit (SDK) or the Google Maps API to use ArcGIS Server services. With these extensions, you can work within the Virtual Earth SDK or Google Maps API to combine ArcGIS Server resources.

Start today using the ArcGIS JavaScript APIs.
