feature layer (server-side)

A feature layer (server-side) is a spatially-enabled table in a feature serviceA feature service is a data service that provides access to spatial and non-spatial data in feature layers, feature layer views, and tables.Learn more consisting of featuresA feature is a single record, also known as a row, that represents a real-world entity. It typically contains a geometry (point, multipoint, polyline, or polygon) and attributes but it can also contain just attributes.Learn more that share the same geometryA geometry is a geometric shape, such as a point, polyline, or polygon, that contains one or more coordinates and a spatial reference.Learn more type (pointA point is a type of geometry containing a single set of x,y coordinates and a spatial reference.Learn more, polylineA polyline is a type of geometry containing ordered point coordinates and a spatial reference.Learn more, or polygonA polygon is a type of geometry containing an array of rings and a spatial reference. Each ring contains an array of point coordinates, where the first and last point are the same.Learn more) and the same fields. A feature layer (server-side) is typically created by importing data in Shapefile, GeoPackage, geoJSON, CSV, and other file formats with data management toolsData management tools are ArcGIS software applications and functionality in portal and ArcGIS Pro that can be used by developers to create, manage, and edit content and data such as web maps, hosted layers, and data services for their applications.Learn more. Client applications and APIs can query, edit, and display features from a feature layer (server-side). Feature layers (server-side) are accessed with a feature service URL with an id or an item IDAn item ID is a unique identifier representing a single item stored, managed, and accessed in a portal, such as a web map, hosted layer, or file.Learn more. Features in a feature layer (server-side) typically represent real-world geographic entities.
