# bpmn-js - BPMN 2.0 for the web
[bpmn-js](https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-js) is the BPMN 2.0 diagram modeling and rendering toolkit that powers [bpmn.io](http://bpmn.io).

## Usage
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/).
```javascript
var BpmnViewer = require('bpmn-js');
var xml; // my BPMN 2.0 xml
var viewer = new BpmnViewer({ container: 'body' });
viewer.importXML(xml, function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log('error rendering', err);
} else {
console.log('rendered');
}
});
```
