Workflow (i.e. Directed Graph) Browser Based Editors

I want to provide a WYSIWYG tool, preferably JavaScript based, for workflow diagramming (i.e. directed graphs). I need commercial software friendly licensing, which can include pay

Solution 1:

Have you checked out the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit yet (http://thejit.org/)? It might not have everything you need, but it does force-directed graph layouts, and allows interactive editing. Since it's rendering into a JavaScript canvas, you should be able to save the results as an image file.

Here are some demos of the graph-layout functionality: http://thejit.org/static/v20/Jit/Examples/ForceDirected/example2.html

Solution 2:

Try Oryx and share your experiences. Features

1. open source
2. web based as well as desktop
3. java script based UI with plugins. since its just java sccript, I am assuming you can embed it.
4. supports export/import to/from BPMN 2.0
5. supports embeddable view i.e. provides mashup api
