ECharts powers all charts in tablab.app. Might be using 20 different chart types or so
Very happy with it.
Theming works well (saw a question or two about that)

#62We [1] use ECharts to visualize all of our data and it's pretty great to use.
It's also very pluggable, so one can only import the components one needs for each chart. Meaning if you only use the `bar` series type, you can just only import the `bar` component. Same thing not only for other chart types but also stuff like mark areas or zoom controls.
There's also a bigger update in the work which brings e.g. violin plots.

#63I love echarts, I've used it at almost every company I've worked at to this day since I found it.
how long ago did you find it? Maybe you can share the dev progress if it was a few years back.

#64If you're looking for a chart library for a web client, I also recommend charts.css. It's a godsend honestly, the concept is way simpler than most charts libraries and can achieve the same thing. Makes it so simple to use the old way, server side rendering, htmx, etc... https://chartscss.org/
> can achieve the same thing
Did you even look at echarts demos, or amcharts demos for that matter -- it's basically the same thing, but paid for: https://www.amcharts.com/demos ?
I don't have anything against charts.css, but it's like comparing a children's plastic toy to a real space shuttle. I spend most of my work hours developing a heavy business analytics application (not unlike Apache Superset), and it would simply be impossible to implement it with something like chart.css

#65what happened to sankey? no sankey graph??
echarts definitely supports sankey: https://echarts.apache.org/examples/en/index.html#chart-type...
they are missing the mark by not featuring it in their demo. The us national budget comes to mind as a feature clip in the demo for sankey.

#66ECharts is in my opinion the best out there. It surprisingly doesn't come up in a lot of lists or search for charting libraries. I've tried them all: chart.js, google charts, amCharts, Highcharts, ApexCharts. We use it in our tool/library https://docs.chartsql.com/
I like Plotly.
Re: Apache ECharts
#67After many trials with other libraries, my team settled on Apache ECharts last year, and we do not regret it: excellent documentation, performant, highly configurable yet easy to use, and supporting all the chart types we need (bars, stacked bars, maps, zoomable/scrollable time series, and scatter plots).

I think that’s because it’s a Chinese Project. Same thing with Ant Design Components, which are really awesome but not as well known as they should be.
I think it being Chinese is part of the reason as some of the examples in the early days were Chinese only, which could deter some people. It is certainly more complex (for a good reason in my opinion), I can see why it is not well known since I think the vast majority just wants to create simple charts. However, with echarts, it really can meet Enterprise needs.
Re: Apache ECharts
#69I like ECharts a lot and generally, it was incredibly easy to use and customize. I tried a lot of alternatives that weren’t nearly as full featured. It’s really got most anything you’d want included in outta the box.
With that said, I had trouble getting it to stream updates, and was having big performance issues with the dataset I was throwing at it (full telemetry from a racing sim roughly every 12ms). I did not make any attempt to refine the data before delivering it so YMMV. I eventually switched to Plotly and D3 to get better performance, but definitely missed the ease of use.

What about D3js? I know that D3js is low level, but with AI it's pretty easy.
I refuse to use it out of principle that they have intertwined it with observable. All the modern docs for d3 assume you are using observable. So unless you are relying entirely on AI it’s now even harder to grok the documentation.
Not sure why this is so contentious. You can search online how many others this impacted as well. All of the modern examples for d3 were rebaked into the observable notebook pattern and it seriously obfuscated how to use d3 itself.
