Get the library via [npm](http://npmjs.org) or [Bower](http://bower.io/) and use it in your web applications to display [BPMN 2.0 diagrams](http://www.bpmn.org/).
Include the library [pre-packaged](https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-js-examples/tree/master/pre-packaged)
or include it [via npm](https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-js-examples/tree/master/bundling)
into your node-style web-application.
```javascript
var BpmnViewer = require('bpmn-js');
var xml; // my BPMN 2.0 xml
var viewer = new BpmnViewer({ container: 'body' });
var viewer = new BpmnJS({ container: 'body' });
