GoJS, a JavaScript Library for HTML Diagrams
GoJS is a JavaScript and TypeScript library for creating and manipulating diagrams, charts, and graphs.
GoJS is a flexible library that can be used to create a number of different kinds of interactive diagrams, including data visualizations, drawing tools, and graph editors. There are samples for flowchart, org chart, business process BPMN, swimlanes, timelines, state charts, kanban, network, mindmap, sankey, family trees and genogram charts, fishbone diagrams, floor plans, UML, decision trees, pert charts, Gantt, and hundreds more. GoJS includes a number of built in layouts including tree layout, force directed, radial, and layered digraph layout, and a number of custom layout examples.
GoJS is rendered with an HTML Canvas element (with export to SVG or image formats). GoJS can run in a web browser, or server side in Node or Puppeteer. GoJS Diagrams are backed by Models, with saving and loading typically via JSON.

This repository contains both the library and the sources for all samples, extensions, and documentation.
You can use the GitHub repository to quickly search through all of the sources.
Graphs are constructed by creating one or more templates, with desired properties data-bound, and adding model data.
<script src="go.js"></script>
<script id="code">
function init() {
var $ = go.GraphObject.make; // for conciseness in defining templates
var myDiagram =
$(go.Diagram, "myDiagramDiv", // create a Diagram for the DIV HTML element
{ // enable undo & redo
"undoManager.isEnabled": true
});
// define a simple Node template
myDiagram.nodeTemplate =
$(go.Node, "Auto", // the Shape will go around the TextBlock
$(go.Shape, "RoundedRectangle",
{ strokeWidth: 0, fill: "white" }, // default fill is white
// Shape.fill is bound to Node.data.color
new go.Binding("fill", "color")),
$(go.TextBlock,
{ margin: 8 }, // some room around the text
// TextBlock.text is bound to Node.data.key
new go.Binding("text", "key"))
);
// but use the default Link template, by not setting Diagram.linkTemplate
// create the model data that will be represented by Nodes and Links
myDiagram.model = new go.GraphLinksModel(
[
{ key: "Alpha", color: "lightblue" },
{ key: "Beta", color: "orange" },
{ key: "Gamma", color: "lightgreen" },
{ key: "Delta", color: "pink" }
],
[
{ from: "Alpha", to: "Beta" },
{ from: "Alpha", to: "Gamma" },
{ from: "Beta", to: "Beta" },
{ from: "Gamma", to: "Delta" },
{ from: "Delta", to: "Alpha" }
]);
}
</script>
The above diagram and model code creates the following graph.
The user can now click on nodes or links to select them, copy-and-paste them, drag them, delete them, scroll, pan, and zoom, with a mouse or with fingers.
