Flowchart to JSON

About this plugin

FigJam flowchart diagram to JSON

Select the root element, and run the plugin. It will generate a JSON representation of the graph interpretation of the flowchart. There are two types of entities: nodes and edges, which model the relation of the flowchart elements. A Node is a, in this case a purple, box with text inside, and an edge is a line connecting the two nodes. All sorts of properties are stored on a node or edge, such as the text, the color and its connections.

Usage

Select a root node and run the plugin. It will copy the JSON to your clipboard, if possible. Coping to clipboard is a bit flaky and may be restricted by your environment in some way. As a fallback, when the automatic copying fails, a window will open displaying the JSON as plain text.

Parsing

Note that the resulting JSON may be cyclic, by the nature of the flowchart. These kinds of JSONs can be parsed with the library circ-json

API

The starting point is always a Node.
