This is the client part of Sprotty, a next-generation, open-source diagramming framework built with web technologies.

Some selected features:

• fast, scalable SVG rendering that is compatible with many browsers and stylable with CSS,
• animations built into the core,
• support for a distributed runtime with a diagram client and a model server,
• a fast, reactive client architecure implemented in TypeScript,
• a Java-based server architecture,
• configuration via dependency injection,
• integration with Xtext, the Language Server Protocol and Theia that can be run as rich-client as well as in the browser.

Repositories

The Sprotty project spans across four GitHub repositories

• sprotty (this repository) contains client code (TypeScript) and the examples.
• sprotty-server contains server code (Java/Xtend) including server-side diagram layout, the extension of the Language Server Protocol, and the integration with the Xtext framework.
• sprotty-theia contains the glue code (TypeScript) to integrate sprotty views in the Theia IDE.
