jQuery Org Chart – a plugin for visualising data in a tree-like structure

with 187 comments

jQuery OrgChart is a plugin that allows you to render structures with nested elements in a easy-to-read tree structure. To build the tree all you need is to make a single line call to the plugin and supply the HTML element Id for a nested unordered list element that is representative of the data you’d like to display. Features include:

  • Very easy to use given a nested unordered list element.
  • Drag-and-drop reorganisation of elements.
  • Showing/hiding a particular branch of the tree by clicking on the respective node.
  • Nodes can contain any amount of HTML except <li> and <ul>.
  • Easy to style.
