In plain words
Chart.js is a JavaScript charting library that enables developers and designers to create simple, flexible charts for modern web applications. It offers built-in color palettes, customizable transitions for individual elements, and performance optimizations including a decimation plugin for handling large datasets. The library supports mixed chart types, allowing users to combine bar and line charts, and allows developers to reduce bundle size by registering only necessary components.

Simple yet flexible JavaScript charting library for the modern web
Default palette of Chart.js brand colors is available as a built-in time-saving zero-configuration plugin. JavaScript bundle size can be reduced by dozens of kilobytes by registering only necessary components . A secondary title plugin with all the same options as main title. Transitions of every property in every element can be configured individually and independently. Numerous performance enhancements have been introduced. This example has 1M (2x500k) points with the new decimation plugin enabled. Mix and match bar and line charts to provide a clear visual distinction between datasets. Plot complex, sparse datasets on date time, logarithmic or even entirely custom scales with ease. Out…from chartjs.org

A gallery of graphs built with React and D3.js2023 · react-graph-gallery.com · ▲297Many JS libraries exist to build graphs on the web (Vega, chartJS, Plotly...). They allow to make charts quickly. But you lose flexibility: you're limited by the options they offer. I just created a gallery with hundreds of graphs made with d3.js and React. - Examples are split by graph types - They all come with explanation and code sandboxes - Gradual complexity to ease the learning curve It took me ages to create this project! Feedback welcome!
