bpmn-js is a JavaScript toolkit and web modeler for viewing, creating, and editing BPMN 2.0 diagrams directly in the browser. It can be embedded into applications as a viewer or editor and extended with custom elements, styling, and modeling rules.

Use cases

• embed a BPMN 2.0 diagram viewer in a web application
• build a browser-based BPMN process modeler
• render BPMN XML diagrams in the browser
• edit and annotate business process diagrams online
• extend BPMN modeling with custom elements and token simulation
• integrate a process design component into a workflow application

When to choose

• you need to display or edit BPMN 2.0 diagrams in a web app
• you want an embeddable, extensible JavaScript diagraming toolkit
• you need standards-compliant BPMN XML import and export
• you are building workflow or process automation tooling in the browser

When to avoid

• you need server-side or desktop-only diagram rendering
• you need a full BPM suite or process execution engine rather than a modeling component
• you need diagram types other than BPMN 2.0
• you require a permissive license - bpmn-js uses the custom bpmn.io license
