Editing Spatial Data with Feature Server

Question

 

If you want user edit gis data via internet, use Feature Server

If you don't want user edit gis data, read-only, use Map Server.

 

Feature Server would not export image, Map Server does.

Let's compare  https://transparentgov.net/json2tree/esri/server/folder.html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgis.cityofredlands.org%2Farcgis%2Frest%2Fservices&org=Redland+CA&_center_lat=40&_center_long=-74&_center_zoom=17&select_folder=204&select_layer=0

Map server example:

Feature server example:

Unless, you need editing via REST API, then you need publish as a feature server.

How to enable feature server?

 

File Geodatabase or  Enterprise Geodatabase registared with same Arcgis server is required, otherwise, you will run into error like this. 

 

 

Warning:   Both REST API are similar but not the same
