Idyll is a markup language and toolkit for writing interactive articles. Idyll's reactive document model and standard component library decrease the amount of code needed to create high quality multimedia narratives. Idyll uses web standards to produce output that will load quickly in any web browser and is fully extensible.



Idyll enables collaboration between programmers and journalists, researchers and designers. Those familiar with JavaScript can write custom components using tools like D3 or React. Idyll is supported by the Interactive Data Lab at the University of Washington, and by O'Reilly Media, Rhizome and The Eutopia Foundation.
