Summary


We have explored the different parts of the REST Service endpoints for ArcGIS Server, the primary data source for our ArcGIS JavaScript API-based applications. We've learned what it means for a service to be RESTful, and how that applies to ArcGIS Server. We've explored the organization of ArcGIS Server map services. We've learnt about what information is available when viewing REST Services in a web browser, and with JSON requests. We learned about the ArcGIS REST API, how data is formatted for requests, and how it is consumed, both by ArcGIS Server and by the ArcGIS JavaScript API. Finally, we applied some of our knowledge to improve our application.

With your understanding of how data is handled client-side and server-side, you will be able to implement many of the powerful features that ArcGIS Server offers for web-based applications. In the next chapter, we'll look into one of those powerful features: editing map data.
