Diagram Editors with GLSP: Why flexibility is key

Are you wondering how you should nowadays develop diagram editors to be durable, given the innovative and fast moving world of web-based technologies and cloud IDEs? The answer is clear: build them to be open for adaptation from top to bottom and make it easy to change certain parts without impacting all other parts. Join this talk to learn how to build diagram editors which are loosely coupled and how to stay agile to adapt and benefit from the innovations of the new age of tool development.

Diagram editors with Eclipse GLSP - 1.0

Philip Langer (EclipseSource)

The Eclipse Graphical Language Server Platform (GLSP) is an open source technology to efficiently create diagram editors for web-based tools such as Eclipse Theia or VS Code. It works similar to the language server protocol and can replace technologies such as GEF or GMF when migrating your toolchain to the web/cloud.

Lucky in the Cloud With Diagrams

Jan Koehnlein (TypeFox GmbH)

Miro Spönemann (TypeFox GmbH)

Sprotty is a new Eclipse Project that makes it easy to add modern, live, CSS styled, animated diagrams to web-based applications. Supporting both, client only and client/server runtime scenarios, it provides the perfect graphical complement to the popular Language Server Protocol.

In this talk you will learn how to use Sprotty to embed live graphs in web apps. We’ll explain the architectural concepts and guide you through the necessary steps to visualize your own models in the cloud.
