Why it should be included: One of the largest mapping libraries out there, from the largest GIS company in the world. Maintained and actively developed for ~20 years.

Project description: The ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript is a powerful library designed to enable interactive web mapping experiences. Leveraging JavaScript, it allows developers to embed rich, spatially-enabled user interfaces in their web applications. The SDK provides a comprehensive suite of tools for displaying maps, querying and editing geospatial data, and performing advanced spatial analytics. With a focus on performance and flexibility, it supports both 2D and 3D mapping and is compatible with a wide variety of GIS data formats and services. For those familiar with web mapping, the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript offers an extensive, customizable platform to build upon, making it easier to integrate spatial data and mapping capabilities into your projects.

I linked to https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/, rather than GitHub repository (https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-js-api or https://github.com/Esri/jsapi-resources/tree/main) as it is much more useful for those starting with the library/evaluating it (has live demo, quick start tips, and extensive reference documentation). But if that is a problem, I can edit that
