## What it is
GoJS is a commercial JavaScript and TypeScript library for building interactive diagrams, charts, and graphs in the browser, rendering to HTML Canvas or SVG. It includes built-in automatic layouts, templates with data binding, undo/redo, and supports flowcharts, org charts, BPMN, and many other diagram types.

## Use cases
- build interactive flowcharts in a web app
- create editable org charts with drag and drop
- make a BPMN or process diagram editor
- build a mind map or kanban board UI
- visualize network topology interactively
- create a graph node editor with undo/redo
- render sankey or gantt charts in the browser

## When to choose
- you need rich, out-of-the-box interactivity like dragging, linking, and undo/redo
- you want automatic graph layouts (tree, force-directed, layered digraph)
- you're building a commercial product and can pay for a license
- you need TypeScript support and extensive samples

## When to avoid
- you need a fully free/open-source solution - GoJS requires paid licenses for commercial use
- you only need simple static charts rather than interactive diagrams
- you're rendering server-side exclusively without a browser or Node environment
