ArcGIS REST JS is a lightweight library authored in TypeScript that makes it easy to work with the ArcGIS Platform’s REST APIs in both modern browsers and Node.js. Teams across Esri (and Esri’s customers!) are collaborating on ArcGIS REST JS in the open to build high performance enterprise applications that manage users, groups, and their content and services. In this talk we'll review the project's purpose and how it complements the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. We’ll explain the API design and authentication schemes and show examples.
