How to use camunda-bpmn.js to visualize custom business data in process models
As part of camunda BPM we ship camunda-bpmn.js – a JavaScript framework to visualize BPMN 2.0 process models directly in your browser. It allows you to easily add own information to it. Daniel Klotz from our long-lasting customer Count+Care now leveraged that to show additional information on a process diagram to users (within their own application). He wrote a great tutorial and open sourced the code as an example on GitHub: https://github.com/zerounix/camunda.process.diagram. Great stuff – thanks a lot Daniel! And expect even more power with bpmn.io later this year 🙂 Happy coding…

The new camunda BPMN model API
As already mentioned in our last alpha release blog post we are currently working on a BPMN model API to parse, create, edit and write BPMN 2.0 XML files. Last Friday we opened our GitHub repository and have since then created a userguide and some quickstarts. The BPMN model API offers you a simple and straightforward way to interact with an BPMN 2.0 model. It enables you to gather information from an existing model, edit and extend them. Of course you can also create completely new ones. Technically the model API is based on a DOM layer which is accessed and manipulated by a general XML API developed by us. On top of this, the BPMN model API encapsulates the interaction…
