I’d keep it.

Announcement: “ECharts, a JS charts package” My assumption: It’ll be unmaintained within a year.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I don’t get what you mean, it is featured in the demo. On the landing page, click demo and navigate to sankey in the menu.

We are actually using Apache ECharts to visualize system performance data in real-time using eBPF. We had to do a bunch of stuff on top of it to get it working but all in all pretty nice. You can check it out here in our sandbox: https://yeet.cx/play

Getting a 503 with that link.

ECharts 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/

What about D3js? I know that D3js is low level, but with AI it's pretty easy.

We needed charting for ad-hoc business reporting from SQL. ECharts was at the right level of ease of use and available charts, interactive, and looks great right out of the box.

After 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).

how is it compared to ag-grid chart?

I like Plotly.

I took a look at Plotly but ultimately wanted a Js solution for our Java backend, so that we can run our SQL charts layer on GraalVM.

Do anyone have experience with this in comparison to vega?

We use Vega pretty heavily, its a broader ecosystem. Where it really shines is in combination with Altair and Vegafusion to do number-crunching on the backend and return a chart spec that can just be rendered on the front-end.

That makes it particularly useful when building interactive visualizations with a lot of data.

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.

Yeah that might be why. A couple years ago I was trying to find "this cool charting library" I came across and I could not get it to surface in Google.

The line race looks so cool. https://echarts.apache.org/examples/en/editor.html?c=line-ra... Toggle the switches to trigger the race. By the way, well done Norway.

It looks neat, but unlike the Hans Rosling example someone else mentioned, the animation adds no additional information. Showing just the last frame would get the same point across much quicker and more accessible. It's a form of chartjunk.
