GlycoGlyph is an open sourced tool developed to help draw glycan structures on the web using JavaScript and is built using D3js. GlycoGlyph provides the ability to either input structures as strings (modified condensed IUPAC as used by the Consortium for Functional Glycomics) or using a graphical user interface (GUI). Underneath, the app converts the structure to a tree data structure as JSON which can then be used by D3js to draw a hierarchical tree diagram. The GUI allows you to add monosaccharides on top of others.
