ArcGIS maps with other javascript framework

Can we show the ArcGIS map in HTML 5 page with the use of other javascript framework like Infragistics or Kendo j UI or Sencha?
If yes, please post the link for the same.

The Online help mentions:

The Esri developers who created the ArcGIS API for JavaScript used Dojo to simplify their development process and to ensure that the applications you build behave the same in different browsers. For example, the map zoom and panning animations use Dojo, as does the graphics layer.

What this means, is that the Javascript API is built on top of the dojo framework. You could use it along with some other framework, but this would mean that you are using that framework/library in addition to the dojo framework, and would not be replacing it.

You could obviously use UI components from these frameworks, but you would still need to call dojo, since the mapping frameworks is built on top of it.

thanks for the info.

Thanks for the reply.
Does that means we can not use the ArcGIS javascript API without dojo component?

All the three frame works you have mentioned are just frameworks, and have no mapping components as such. You could use the ESRI JSAPI along with them, like given in this sample: Using Ext JS

This sample uses Sencha's ExtJS, along with the map from JSAPI. The tooltip and slider are from exjs.

It is also possible to use the ArcGIS Server REST end point with other mapping libraries like OpenLayers and Leaflet.
