====



This is the foundation package for the Dojo 1 Toolkit.  While still being maintained, new development is primarily focused on modern Dojo.



Checkout the [Dojo framework website](https://dojo.io/) or if you want a more detailed technical status and overview, checkout the [`Dojo roadmap`](https://dojo.io/community/).



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

[dojotoolkit.org/download]().



Getting Started

---------------

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.
