Powering exceptional UIs with a proven JavaScript diagramming library

For more than a decade, our team of engineers has been working on solutions that support innovative ideas and help them see the light of day faster. In that time, we've been fortunate enough to work with companies like IBM, Boeing, AirBnB, BMW and Oracle, as well as small startups and independent entrepreneurs whose demand has helped us narrow our focus to a few key areas where we excel today, and one of which is the SVG approach. We believe in SVG technology that facilitates interaction, promotes accessibility and renders perfectly. That's why it is the building block of JointJS+.

The realization that modern development is not anymore about programming everything from scratch has led us to create a set of features and plugins that are ready to use without the need for further configuration. On the other hand, JointJS+ is a fully customizable solution that puts control in your hands and allows you to modify the capabilities as you need.

Among hundreds of unique stories and needs, we identified one where JointJS+ adds significant value: transitioning from a desktop application to a modern web application. Needless to say, people access the tools they use and love on a variety of devices, which motivated us to fine-tune our library so that it's not only accessible on all devices and screen sizes, but always offers a memorable experience whether your customers or internal teams interact with the application on mobile or desktop.

JointJS+ is made by developers for developers. We know that things get complicated, and we also know that great minds can find a way out of every setback if they work together. This is one of the reasons why we didn't just want to provide standalone solutions and pass on all the responsibility to our customers, but to become valuable partners in their journey to success. Today, this mission is realized through our support services which allows your developers e-meet ours and together find a way to build a successful product.

The sky is the limit to what you can build with JointJS+

While the headline may sound a bit like clickbait, it's actually true. With JointJS+ you can create everything from floor planners, BPMN applications, project management tools containing kanban boards, whiteboards and mindmaps to planograms, organizational charts or even very niche cases like Marey diagrams. 

The library was designed to be expandable and usable for all kinds of needs. Check out more demos in our library or on our CodePen profile to find out more.

The impact JointJS+ has on your business

Let's let the numbers do the talking for a moment. We keep saying that our solutions help developers save time and companies get their products to market faster. But what does that mean in concrete numbers?

HCL Technologies, which leverages JointJS+ and IBM Workload Automation to visually manage complex tasks and activities, reports a 40% savings in development resources and a 20% increase in overall application performance.

Thomas Peugeot from Moss says: “We had a solution with a customized COTS that was not suited and that cost big $$. We decided to switch to dedicated development. We chose to use JointJS+ because we could develop our tool in less than a month with a very moderate development budget and zero deployment budget. We had three iterations with the client, and that was it!”. 

JointJS+ really is a way to get started quickly and with significantly less resources. Try it out for yourself with a free 30-day trial.

Who's behind it

In short, we are diagramming and visual application experts who believe our tools help people achieve their dreams and support the "next billion ideas" that positively change the world. We are fortunate to be supported by a community of developers who share our vision and help us make JointJS+ a better solution. You are welcome to joint them as well.
