We are proud to present to you Cytoscape Web 2.
Cytoscape Web 2 is the next generation of graph visualisation technology on the web. It combines the power and convenience of jQuery -- a very easy-to-learn JavaScript library -- with HTML5 technologies to provide a good experience for developers and end-users alike.
Philosophy : The jQuery philosophy is fully embraced in Cytoscape Web 2. Not only do the API functions follow jQuery’s conventions, but the concept of collections is also followed. You can now deal with collections of graph elements in Cytoscape Web just as you would deal with collections of DOM elements in jQuery.
Technology : Cytoscape Web 2 is a jQuery plugin, so it integrates very well with other jQuery widgets and your own jQuery code. The included renderer in Cytoscape Web 2 uses SVG technology to provide a consistent cross-browser experience, comparable to the performance of the prior Flash-based version. We’ve even included iOS support so you can pinch to zoom the graph, drag nodes with your finger, and more right out of the box!
Selectors : Use CSS-like selectors as you would in jQuery to query the graph, filter collections of elements, and so on.
Event handling : Event binding is easy in Cytoscape Web 2. Not only do we support the same API functions for binding as jQuery that you know and love, but we’ve added even more to make developers’ lives easier.
Extensibility : You can write jQuery plugins that provide widgets or other UI in conjunction with an instance of Cytoscape Web. In addition, you can write extensions to add core functionality to Cytoscape Web 2, including core functions, collection functions, layouts, renderers, and exporters. We’ll be leveraging the new jQuery plugins site to automatically manage the plugins and extensions that developers write on GitHub.
You can download prerelease snapshots builds of Cytoscape Web 2 with the caveat that we ask you to provide feedback regarding any bugs and usability issues that you come across. Cytoscape Web 2 is already very reliable, and we hope that with your help we can make it even better!
Thank you to all the supporters of Cytoscape Web; we all have a lot to look forward to in the near future.
All news and discussion for Cytoscape Web 2 can be found on the new Google group, cytoscapeweb. The old Google groups, cytoscapeweb-announce and cytoscapeweb-discuss, will be maintained for the Flash version of Cytoscape Web.
