A web scene is a scene stored as a JSON object that defines scene properties. Its JSON structure is defined by the Web Scene Specification and contains settings for the basemap layer, data layers, layer styles, pop-up styles, and more. Web scenes are typically created and styled with the Scene Viewer or ArcGIS Pro, and then consumed by applications and APIs. A web scene can be created, shared, and stored in ArcGIS as an item.
