Hello ,

just would like to clarify

ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript Associate 2024 Technical Certification has a requirement to be able to perform the tasks of "analysis capabilities (geometry engine)". Does that mean that other analysis capabilities  (like feature, raster, visual) are not required to be familiar with to pass the exam?

 

Thank you.

Hi @AnastasiiaD, thank you for posting your question here. You are correct, GeometryEngine is primarily used for the testing, measuring, and analyzing the spatial relationship between two or more 2D geometries.

As such, that bullet point does not refer to other analysis capabilities, like feature, raster, visual, etc.

It is worth noting that GeometryEngine (and asyncGeometryEngine) are currently deprecated at the most recent release (4.32). The replacement is GeometryOperators. However, the differences are mostly syntactical and not functional, so it should not affect your results.
