 The `SimpleDataLayer` class also provides a built-in popup feature with a popup template. The popup appears when a feature is selected. This layer also supports clustered data. When a cluster is selected, the map zooms in to the cluster and expands it into individual points and subclusters. You can disable the popup feature if you don't need it.
 
-The `SimpleDataLayer` class is intended to be used on large data sets that include features with many applied geometry types and styles. When you use this class, it adds an overhead of six layers that contain style expressions. If you only need to render a few geometry types and styles on a feature, it might be more efficient to use a core rendering layer.

-For example, when you're parsing XML data feeds, you might not know the features' exact style and geometry types.
