WebCola is a JavaScript/TypeScript library for constraint-based graph layout, producing high-quality interactive graph visualizations in the browser. It integrates with D3.js and other web graphics libraries and supports layout constraints such as alignment and grouping.

Use cases

• lay out network graphs in the browser with d3
• draw graphs with alignment constraints between nodes
• visualize graphs with grouped nodes
• force-directed graph layout with constraint support
• render interactive node-link diagrams on a web page
• avoid node overlaps in graph visualization

When to choose

• you need constraint-based or overlap-free graph layout in a web app
• you already use D3.js and want better graph layout than the built-in force layout
• you need alignment or grouping constraints in your diagram

When to avoid

• you need server-side or offline graph layout outside the browser
• you need a full diagramming/editor UI rather than a layout algorithm
• your project uses a non-JavaScript stack without a JS frontend
