System requirements

 

OrgChart JS will run on any server that supports HTML. You can even run OrgChart.js locally from a filesystem.

 

OrgChart JS does not depend on any third-party JavaScript library.

 

OrgChart JS works in all modern browsers and uses SVG for the graphics rendering.

 

Where...

 

nodes is the data source. The 'id' property is mandatory.

pid is the parent id, this represents a connection between two nodes.

nodeBinding is the 'name' property form, the data source will be bound to 'field_0' UI element from the template.
