Language Bindings
Because the input accepted by BokehJS is an object graph, represented by
declarative bits of JSON, any language that can generate the right JSON
can generate Bokeh plots in the browser.
Resources for Authors
Since the low-level object interface in Python mirrors the JSON schema
exactly, the best, most authoritative source of information for anyone
writing bindings for Bokeh are the reference guide sections for the
Properties System and Model Objects. In
particular, the models reference has a JSON prototpe for every models
in the Bokeh object system.
Additionally, there is a very low-traffic bokeh-dev mailing list
that is intended to be a high-signal communication channel for Bokeh
language binding developers. If you are interested in being added to
this mailing list, please contact us.
Known Bindings
These are the currently known projects that expose Bokeh to languages
other than Python. If you know of any that are not on this list, or if
you want to work on a new language binding for Bokeh and need some help,
please let us know.
rbokeh
The rbokeh project, started by @hafen, adds support
for Bokeh to the R language.
bokeh-scala
The bokeh-scala exposes Bokeh in the Scala language. The
project was created by the Bokeh core dev team’s own @mattpap.
bokeh.lua
The iTorch project, created by Facebook, integrates Bokeh
as the solution for interactive plotting in a Jupyter notebook. Minimal Lua
bindings were generated to support this effort.
