JointJS is an open-source JavaScript/TypeScript diagramming library for building interactive, production-scale diagram applications using SVG. It is framework-agnostic with first-class React support, and a commercial JointJS+ extension adds pre-built UI components, automatic layout, and BPMN shapes.

Use cases

• build an interactive flowchart editor in the browser
• create a drag-and-drop AI workflow builder
• embed a BPMN process modeler in a web app
• build a node-based visual programming or low-code editor
• render SCADA/HMI monitoring dashboards with diagrams
• build an org chart or data modeling tool
• create an ER diagram or network topology editor

When to choose

• you need fully interactive, customizable SVG diagrams in a web app
• you want a mature, proven library (since 2011) with TypeScript support
• you need framework-agnostic diagramming that works with React, Angular, Vue, or Svelte
• you are building complex node-and-edge editors like workflow or agent builders

When to avoid

• you only need static charts or plots - a charting library like D3 or Chart.js is simpler
• you need built-in automatic layout, BPMN shapes, or export features without paying for the commercial JointJS+ tier
• you need canvas/WebGL rendering for tens of thousands of elements
• your project requires a permissive open-source license (JointJS is MPL-2.0, and key features are paid)
