Esri-Leaflet vs ArcGIS javaScript API and performance?

michellechristmas

Is there documentation or example that would compare the performance of an web map application developed with Esri ArcGIS javaScript  vs web map application developed with  Esri-leaflet? I have seen the information or FAQ on github, but if I recall there's no information on performance comparisons. I apologize in advance if I missed somehting and I needed to look closer at what is available on github.

 

Thank you!

hi michelle,

this is in no way intended to serve as documentation or an official benchmark to compare and contrast the performance of the two APIs, but you might be interested in checking it out anyway.

Comparing Leaflet to ArcGIS JS API (renderers)

In general, Leaflet is a lighterweight (and therefore faster loading API) but the performance of the services which are called within the application and considerations in the code of the application itself are going to be a lot more noticeable to end users than a few milliseconds on page load.
