Ask HN: What's the best javascript charting library?

1 points by praveenaj 14y ago

I know this question has been asked several times on HN. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1847515 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=854926 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2764708 But since all the posts are almost 2-3 years old, I'd like to ask it again, as there must have been major changes in the technologies and libraries since then. Requirements: -Support as many chart types as possible. -Cross browser compatibility. -Rich and interactive Thanks.

Google charts (https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery https://google-developers.appspot.com/chart/interactive/docs...), Flot (http://www.flotcharts.org/ http://www.flotcharts.org/) are some of the popular options

I would recommend Highcharts - http://www.highcharts.com/ http://www.highcharts.com/. Their api is great, really simple to use with a shit load of graph options.
