What is the best javascript library to implement a browser tool for drawing diagrams

Question

I have to implement a diagram tool in a web browser. To do that implementation which is the best JS library?

I found these three:

• kineticjs
• jointjs
• Raphaël

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each one for the implementation of a tool to draw diagrams?

Answer 1

GoJS is a general purpose JavaScript diagramming library

There's loads of built-in interactivity that make it easy for users to create and modify their own diagrams. See a flowchart example here, or lots of other diagram types here.

• Built in, users can drag and drop nodes from palettes, draw new links, rearrange/resize nodes, reshape links.
• Templates for Nodes, Links, and Groups, can be arbitrarily complex and include custom shapes/geometries
• Support for user-created links with arbitrary link validation
• With links, Orthogonal and Bezier link routing with "Avoids Nodes" and "Jump Over" options
• Data binding with JSON data
• Intuitive Drag-and-Drop & Copy-Paste functionality
• Unlimited extensible Undo and Redo
• Mouse and touch support with customizable tools
• Automatic layout of graphs
• Palettes and Overviews
