The next generation of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, version 2.0, is now available to everyone through a public beta release. Visit the ArcGIS API for JavaScript 2.0 online SDK page to explore the new API. You’ll find a full set of help, samples, and developer reference topics to help you get started.
Version 2.0 introduces support for Web editing workflows, a new “feature layer” for working with client-side graphics, support for time-aware layers, an expanded geometry service, and many other new features.
What if I don’t have ArcGIS 10?
Many of the new features are designed to work with the forthcoming ArcGIS 10. If you’re not part of the ArcGIS 10 beta program, you can still get a feel for the API using an ArcGIS 10 sample server that ESRI has made available. All the samples in the online SDK use this sample server.
We wish you happy exploring with the new API and look forward to your feedback.
