Dojo core is a powerful, lightweight library that makes common tasks quicker and easier. Animate elements, manipulate the DOM, and query with easy CSS syntax, all without sacrificing performance.
dojo is the foundation package of version 1.x of the Dojo Toolkit. 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.
Installation instructions are available at dojotoolkit.org/download.
If you are starting out with Dojo, the following resources are available to you:
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.
