Mxgraph 

MxGraph is an interactive JavaScript HTML 5 diagramming library. You include it as a JavaScript link in your HTML file and you instantly have access to the most functional native browser diagramming component available. This library is used in Draw.io. The library is developed since 2005 and supports even IE 6.

The mxGraph package contains a client software, written in JavaScript, and a series of backends for various languages. The client software is a graph component with an optional application wrapper that is integrated into an existing web interface. The client requires a webserver to deliver the required files to the client or can be run from the local filesystem without a webserver. The backends may be used as is, or they may be embedded into an existing server application in one of the supported languages.

GoJS offers many advanced features for user interactivity such as drag-and-drop, copy-and-paste, transactional state and undo management, palettes, overviews, data-bound models, event handlers, and an extensible tool system for custom operations.

Raphael

Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library. Raphaël uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics. This means every graphical object you create is also a DOM object, so you can attach JavaScript event handlers or modify them later. Raphaël’s goal is to provide an adapter that will make drawing vector art compatible cross-browser and easy.
