This guide explains how to build mapping and spatial analysis applications using ArcGIS REST JS. It covers authentication setup and how to make requests to ArcGIS Location Services and ArcGIS Enterprise services. Since ArcGIS REST JS does not render maps, you can use it with other mapping libraries to display results.
To learn more about the library's capabilities, go to Introduction to ArcGIS REST JS.
