Honest testimonial from

those who considered mxGraph

Learn directly from our customers the main reasons why they prefer JointJS.

Our requirement was to use a product with support for designing interactive diagrams based on a tree of a objects. We evaluated JointJS, mxGraph and GoJS.

We chose JoinJS+ because of its seamless integration with React - our code was 60% smaller than with the other products, which means writing faster.

The support we received, even when we weren’t customers, was outstanding, with custom examples that showed how to implement our requirements.

Some features that suited our needs were: undo/redo feature, including additional object shapes to the app’s palette, native JSON serialisation/deserialization and metadata support.
Diagrams with up to 2000 elements on them were rendered with no problems, making the zoom in/out a pleasure for the users.
