Datawrapper Core
This is Datawrapper Core, the open source platform that powers the charting tools hosted as free service on datawrapper.de.
Most of the functionality in Datawrapper is provided by plugins, some of which are open source but the majority is not.
Note that significant parts of the Datawrapper core have been rewritten in Node.js, you can find them in the following repositories:
- api is our new v3 REST API
- frontend is our new frontend server
- chart-core is our library that renders all visualizations
- shared contains JavaScript utility functions used throughout datawrapper
- orm contains our internal database models
Datawrapper was created in 2012 by Mirko Lorenz, Nicolas Kayser-Bril and Gregor Aisch. Since 2014 it is developed by Datawrapper GmbH.
Datawrapper has in the past received funding by ABZV.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
