Echarts is the best charting library when you need a full fledge solution. It is worth to know that you can reduce the bundle size with this: https://echarts.apache.org/en/builder.html

If imported, using a bundler, one can also partially import features and install them when needed:

While I like echarts I have found it somewhat challenging to extend their functionality.

I wanted a Gantt chart and while I did achieve what I wanted it wasn't without having to delve into the their source and putting log statements everywhere.

I happen to be using ant design and I've had the same issues there.

Its a bit all over the place and the translations are not great, but i will stick with it.

Some parts of the api are a bit confusing especially with more recent version upgrades but I still have found it to be the most powerful open source library that’s not D3.

Props to them for keeping backwards compatibility. I always dread seeing these major releases, especially after being burned several times by the tire fire of react-router. Migrating a rather large project from 5.6 to 6.0 (10 chart types, around 1k charts in total) took maybe 15 minutes of work. IIRC the only breaking change was them moving the legend to the bottom, which was easy to revert by importing the old theme.

And all that for free. The project was using a commercial library until about a year ago; no regrets since moving to echarts.
