Thanks! It would also be nice if the license types of each library were included as well. Graphing libraries for the web can be surprisingly restrictive!

#62as someone that soon enough hopes to need evaluating graphing libraries for a side project (implement the types of charts cachegrind [and similar] provide) this post came at a great time.
Re: Show HN: JavaScript Graphing Library Comparison
#63I think http://nvd3.org/ should be added. It is the only free/OSS that was able to do the complex combined graphs I needed for a recent project.
I wish they would open source the rest of the charts. When I worked there we had some amazing visualizations that weren't included in the open source portion.
It seemed like the project went a bit dormant and Novus was not supporting it that well so a community fork [1] was made that was just recently merged back in [2]. I have seen the support uptick (though a tiny issue I made was closed while still wrong before I made a PR [3]).

#64Nothing beats the power and flexibility of GNUPLOT. Still going strong after almost 30 years, with excellent documentation and loads of support on the web, too.

I came here to post exactly the same thing! Teaching a data viz course shortly and have to decide which library to use.
Re: Show HN: JavaScript Graphing Library Comparison
#67Great list! I personally use http://c3js.org for all charts on https://wakatime.com/ because it's easy to use like highcharts, but comes with an open license. It's basically a wrapper around d3.js for all the common reusable charts, which makes it very easy to style and customize.

#68I've been looking for a chart library to display timeseries graphs and integrate well with react. The best one I found so far is react-d3. Unfortunately, it's still somewhat awkward.
Hey, shameless plug but in case you need react integration maybe have a look at my project.
https://github.com/codesuki/react-d3-components
I am using that for a dashboard and fixing the problems as they come.
I'll push a new version soon that incorporates some of the issues mentioned on github and animations.
Anyway good luck with your project!

#69Missing Plottable.js by Palantir, a solid modular charting library based on d3: https://github.com/palantir/plottable
Re: Show HN: JavaScript Graphing Library Comparison
#70I always rely on Highcharts, probably the biggest library presented here. Fit all the case (except map maybe) and flexible enough to let you change everything if you or your designer want something very specific !
HighCharts is great, but it is prohibitively expensive for a startup to use in their product.
How so? It's less than $400 for an unlimited use single developer license without support. That doesn't seem very expensive for a good product that saves time and helps productivity. I'm sure they might offer discounts if you contact them about the startup situation.
