Is it possible to load a json file, converted from a shape file, on a map using the API ?

Is it possible to load a json file, that I converted from a shape file, on a map using the API ? Ultimately I need to be able to load data that that is generated from a script. Are there any other options besides json and KML that will allow points and polylines created as a text based file? I am just trying to create a basic connectivity map. Apologies for my ignorance!!

John,

Sure you use esriRequest to get the json file and then build a FeatureLayer using FeatureCollection. See this sample:

Feature collection | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.18

Thanks!!! I will give it a shot. Sadly it will take me a day or two as I attempt to pay my dues working it out. I will return to "Mark Correct" & Helpful "yes" .... or ask for more help. Thanks again!!!
