dojo
====
This is the foundation package for the Dojo 1 Toolkit. While still being maintained, new development is focused on Dojo 2.
Checkout the [Dojo 2 website](https://dojo.io/) or if you want a more detailed technical status and overview, checkout [`dojo/meta`](https://github.com/dojo/meta).
This package is sometimes
referred to as the “core”, it contains the most generally applicable sub-packages
and modules. The dojo package covers a wide range of functionality like Ajax, DOM
manipulation, class-type programming, events, promises, data stores,
drag-and-drop and internationalization libraries.
Installing
----------
Installation instructions are available at

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, Dojos 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, Dojos 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.
