Render graph from JSON

[TesloCosmin]

It would be nice to have the possibility to render the graph automatically from JSON data (coming from an Ajax call for example), including the options for customizing dots, arrow, branches, message and so on.

Hi @TesloCosmin =)

For sure that would be a cool feature to add. That would be a nice step to do to enable integration with GitHub / Bitbucket / etc. APIs.

Long time we didn't update the lib but I'll find some time to give it a look.
I'll let you know (eventually, feel free to open a PR if you have something in mind =) ).

Thanks!

👍 for this feature request! Do you know guys is there any standard of JSON format, which could be used for that?

Looks like there isn't really a git-graph specific format. There's the format used in the Github API and the Bitbucket API, which are both different.

There's also the more generic JSON Graph Format and the Netflix JSON Graph Specification.

I think it would be more sensible to have intermediary converters for each source than try to find a common denominator.

Wondering if there has been any additional work on this feature?
