JointJS+: Clipboard API Integration <a href="https://www.jointjs.com/jointjs-plus"><img src="../jointjs-plus-badge.svg" alt="JointJS+" width="123" align="right" /></a>

Explore our integration with the Clipboard API, which serves as a bridge between JointJS+ and the system clipboard. With this powerful API, demonstrated in the demo below, you can copy and paste diagram data between different native and web applications. Note that you can copy diagram content in two different formats: a "web application/join" type that can be used in another application that supports JointJS data, and a "text/plain" type, which is a textual representation of diagram data that can be pasted into any OS environment (such as your notepad application). In addition, you can copy and paste generic text and images from the OS clipboard - such objects will be inserted into the diagram as corresponding elements.

This demo is also available online at jointjs.com.
