Hello Coders,

This article presents a curated list with open-source Javascript Chart Libraries we can use without much effort to showcase relevant information in our projects. Initially, the list was bigger (10+ items) but I decided to remove all projects without a release or even a commit in the last 12mo despite the notoriety. Using a Chart Library that consolidates and presents data visually might help people to understand a large amount of information and make better business decisions.

ChartJS Library

Chart.js is a community-maintained project, with 52k+ Github stars and 350+ contributors. Using this chart library we can visualize your data in 8 different ways, each one with specific options regarding customization. Chart.js can be integrated with plain JavaScript or with different module loaders: CDN usage, local (via download), or using bundlers (Webpack, Rollup).

Google Charts

Google Charts provides a simple way to visualize data on different patterns starting from bar and area charts to complex ones like GeoChart and Gauge (speedometer) - full list here. Charts are based on pure HTML5/SVG technology (adopting VML for old IE versions), so no plugins are required. All of them are interactive and zoomable.

D3 Charts

D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data. D3 helps you bring data to life using HTML, SVG, and CSS. D3 allows you to bind arbitrary data to a Document Object Model (DOM), and then apply data-driven transformations to the document. For example, you can use D3 to generate an HTML table from an array of numbers. Or, use the same data to create an interactive SVG bar chart with smooth transitions and interaction.
