interactive diagramming
GoJS is a JavaScript/TypeScript library for creating interactive diagrams, flowcharts, org charts, and graph editors with canvas/SVG rendering and built-in layouts.
Same problem, same approach. Swapping one for another is a config change, not a rewrite.

These projects were analysed and named GoJS among their alternatives. The relationship is not symmetric — how GoJS rates them is a separate judgement, made when GoJS is analysed in its own right.
