One of the Chart.js contributors here. Version 2.0 is a massive overhaul of the underlying library focused on ease of use and extensibility. Hundreds of issues from the 1.x branch have been resolved, making Chart.js even more stable and user friendly than ever! Here are a few of the core changes: - Github Organization: Moved from github.com/nnnick/Chart.js to our own org, github.com/chartjs/Chart.js, where we hope to…

How quick is this? I'll give it a go with our company's dataset. Unfortunately none of the javascript charting libraries could handle it so far. I am not even sure it is possible to do what I want using JS and current technology.

It should doable just fine, but it seems like you expect the front end to handle millions of nodes? You should aggregate at various levels, and present sliding windows instead...

I wish the site had a dedicated demo gallery to show case the features, especially the animation and responsiveness. There are some demos in the documentation, but nothing that gives chartJS the showcase it deserves.

Don't get me wrong. This is a wonderful piece of work and I want everyone involved to succeed.

In a demo, I'd like to see especially how degenerate cases are handled. For example, in a point-graph, lots of points almost at the same location. Or in a bar-graph, some very small bars, and some very large bars. Also, I'd like to see how it handles huge amounts of data.

Convince us that this library is ready for the real world :)

Hi, this looks pretty. I've been a happy highcharts user for several years; can you summarize what's good/better/different about chartjs?

1. License: As other commenters have said, it's fully open source and free to use for commercial projects. 2. Canvas vs SVG: For my use case, using SVG for lots of data points really slowed down the DOM. Canvas doesn't have that limitation and is easier to export to images if necessary. SVG is nice because you can use CSS to style things.

FWIW, and I literally JUST learned this from another link in this thread: Highcharts now has boost.js [0], which lets you use Canvas, for when you need the performance boost.

I am using metrichgraphics[1], it's based on D3.js I was looking at charts.js but it didn't had enough options. [1] http://metricsgraphicsjs.org/examples.htm

I haven't used this but found this chart lib based on D3.js called C3.js. http://c3js.org/

I've used C3.js for some stacked bar charts.

I like it. It took a little poking at to get what I wanted (stacked bar charts with some initially unselected), but I got it and its been working well. I came from a highcharts shop, and the setup there was different enough.
