What to Use Dojo For and When to Use It

The following is a brief sampling of some of the areas where Dojo may prove to be the right tool for your next project:

• For keeping your code fast and maintainable, Dojo offers an asynchronous module definition (AMD) loader -- encapsulating pieces of code into useful units, loading small JavaScript files only when they are needed, and loading files separately even when they are dependent on one another.

• When you want to easily extend existing classes, share functionality among a number of classes, and maximize code reuse, Dojo provides class-like inheritance and “mixins.”

• For creating advanced and customizable user interfaces out of refined, efficient, and modular pieces, Dojo’s Dijit framework offers several dozen enterprise-ready widgets -- including buttons, textboxes, form widgets with built-in validation, layout elements, and much more -- along with themes to lend them a consistent look. All of this is available for mobile environments as well.

• For working with advanced vector graphics, Dojo’s GFX API can render graphics in a wide variety of formats, with support for seamless manipulation (skewing, rotating, resizing), gradients, responding to mouse events, and more.

• The dojox/charting library supports powerful data visualization and dynamic charting, including a variety of 2D plots and animated charting elements.

• When you need feature-rich, lightweight, and mobile-friendly grids/tables, Dojo offers the dgrid widget, along with customizable default themes and accompanying features such as in-cell editing, row/cell selection, column resizing/reordering, keyboard handling, pagination, and more.

• Dojo is the officially supported framework for the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, one of the most widely used enterprise-grade APIs for web mapping and spatial analysis -- learning to use Dojo will open doors to creating richer web mapping applications using that API.
