Use ArcGIS Server REST resources without an official SDK.

It can also be used for just working with types and as well as some ArcGIS Server types you can also use GeoJSON FeatureCollections with the ability to convert GeoJSON <-> ArcGIS Features.

A typical use case would be the need to call some ArcGIS REST resource from server .NET code or maybe a console app. Works with .NET for Windows Store apps, .NET framework 4.5 and higher, Windows Phone 8.1 and higher and Xamarin iOS and Android.

Supports the following as typed operations:

  • CheckGenerateToken - create a token automatically via an ITokenProvider
  • Query<T> - query a layer by attribute and / or spatial filters
  • QueryForCount - only return the number of results for the query operation
  • QueryForIds - only return the ObjectIds for the results of the query operation
  • Find - search across n layers and fields in a service
  • ApplyEdits<T> - post adds, updates and deletes to a feature service layer
  • Geocode - single line of input to perform a geocode using a custom locator or the Esri world locator
  • Suggest - lightweight geocode operation that only returns text results, commonly used for predictive searching
  • ReverseGeocode - find location candidates for a input point location
  • Simplify<T> - alter geometries to be topologically consistent
  • Project<T> - convert geometries to a different spatial reference
  • Buffer<T> - buffers geometries by the distance requested
  • DescribeSite - returns a url for every service discovered
  • Ping - verify that the server can be accessed
  • Info - return the server information such as version and token authentication settings
  • PublicKey - admin operation to get public key used for encryption of token requests
  • ServiceStatus - admin operation to get the configured and actual status of a service
  • ServiceReport - admin operation to get the service report
  • StartService - admin operation to start a service
  • StopService - admin operation to stop a service
  • DescribeServices - return services information (name, sublayers etc.)
  • DescribeService - return service information (name, sublayers etc.)
  • DescribeLayer - return layer information

You can also write your own operations to extend the operations available.
