What a complete exhaustive set of examples! Very useful. Both SVG and Canvas renderers differ very little and both seem to be super performant. The declarative API is just so simple... harkens back to the age of batteries-included web frameworks like Ext.

Sorry if this is a silly question but how does a project become "Apache"? Like is there a core team starting these projects or is there an application process for a project to be under the Apache banner?

Looks like it could work nicely with HTMX.

Funny seeing this here with your comment, as I was exploring using ECharts for a project recently to work exactly with HTMX from a Clojure backend. I eventually settled on Chart.js as I found that for my use case, I wanted the charts to more easily fit their dynamically sized container, which isn’t quite as simple with ECharts and Vega. I also didn't need particularly complex plots. Nevertheless, this is a nice proje…

Did you look at charts.css ?

What does this have over Plotly, Chart.js, D3, Bokeh, etc

A very large library of premade charts for web. Probably the largest I've seen. Less customizable than chart.js, and D3 is more of a rendering library than a charting library.

I'm surprised by your claim of it being less customizable than chart.js, it has been very flexible from my experience.

It could rival d3 with a lot of customization and a worse DX from what I've seen: It's essentially a good amount of defaults, but you can override and replace essentially anything.

If 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/

The animation examples for chartscss are annoying. it doesn't look nearly as functional

This is great. I was always looking for a well licensed library that is well maintained and ships a coherent featureset. This seems to tick all the boxes.
