Gantt expects that an array with tasks will be named either data or tasks whereas an array with links will be named links.

If you want to load data which doesn't contain tasks, you still need to define an array of tasks in the object with data but it can be empty:

gantt.parse({
    tasks:[],
    links:[
        { id:1, source:1, target:2, type:1},
        { id:2, source:2, target:3, type:0}
    ]
});

From v8.0, besides tasks and links, you can load resources and resource assignments into the gantt via the parse() method:

gantt.parse({
    tasks: [
        ...,
        {
            id: 5,
            text: "Interior office",
            type: "task",
            start_date: "03-04-2024 00:00",
            duration: 7,
            parent: "2",
            owner: [
                {
                    resource_id: "6",
                    value: 3,
                    start_date: "03-04-2024 00:00",
                    end_date: "05-04-2024 00:00",
                }
            ]
        },
        ...
    ],
    links: [],
    resources: [
        {id: 6, text: "John", unit: "hours/day" },
        {id: 7, text: "Mike", unit: "hours/day" },
        {id: 8, text: "Anna", unit: "hours/day" },
        {id: 9, text: "Bill", unit: "hours/day" },
        {id: 10, text: "Floe", unit: "hours/day" }
    ]
});
