Wow what a blast from the past. I used this library many years back when I think it was called Baidu E-Charts. Was a great library back then too. I'm amazed how good its gotten now.

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/

I'm a big fan of VisX for the level of control it gives.

VisX looks nice. We haven't had the need for more complicated visualizations yet but I'm always looking out for options.

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.

I wonder how well it correlates with the oil price.

Can recommend visx as well, it's great as it's basically a thin layer around d3, giving you maximum flexibility while providing lots of built in components to get you started.

We use ECharts extensively in Evidence ( https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence ). Overall has been a delight.

Thanks for sharing, evidence looks very interesting. Reading the docs, do I understand it right that I need to publish parquet files so that WASM DuckDB could query them. I’m a bit concerned users wholesale downloading all the data.

I can second this. VisX will be a little more effort but it will let you build anything you could build using d3.

How does it compare to https://www.chartjs.org/ ?

The biggest difference I'm aware of is that ECharts has an add-on for 3D charts (echarts-gl). Chart.js doesn't have any 3D functionality.

(Our project mostly uses Chart.js, so I'm more familiar with it.)

Glad to see Echarts getting the recognition it deserves. It is arguably the best open-source visualization library out there. Here are some points others haven't mentioned: (a) Uses canvas by default. Faster than any other library I've used. (b) Extremely flexible. Want to write your own widget on top of the graphs (eg., a customized tooltip). Possible! (c) Provides a lot of metadata. Want to get the position of a po…

Why is it so rarely mentioned in chart libraries comparisons? Its not even listed on the Wikipedia page for JavaScript chart libraries. I discovered it by chance through Apache Superset.
