Charting and data visualization

[DaveSkender]

What are some good charting and data visualization products that you recommend?

[DaveSkender]

Since I'm mostly developing Angular websites lately, I like Charts.js because it works natively in Javascript and does not require special wrappers. Our demo uses Chart.js. I also use the chartjs-chart-financial plugin to support candlestick line types. Since we're a .NET library, I've seen a lot of our users stick with Microsoft-compatible products too. ASP.NET Blazor is a good framework to consider since you can use our library directly in it.

Here's a few to explore:

• Charts.js
• ApexCharts
• React Financial Charts
• React Stockchart
• SyncFusion
• Arction LightningCharts
• TradingView Lightweight Charts
• LiveCharts2
• HighCharts
• Google Charts
• Plotly.NET or Plotly.js

What are some other ideas from the community?

I tried a few charting libraries for .Net. So far, Plotly.NET seems to be the best. It can even draws complex indicators like Ichimoku Cloud. It can output charts to a single HTML file, if you need something quick without starting a web server.

The downside is the document for .Net is quite a poor.

Another option I use is to output data to spreadsheets such as csv files or Google Sheets (via Google Sheet API), then draw charts using Excel or Google Sheets. Google Sheets can be connected to Looker Studio (aka Google Data Studio) and csv files can be used with PowerBi, if one needs a fancy dashboard.

❤️ An easy to use charting plugin that accepts your own data feed would be nice. Glad to hear you'll be using our library. That'll save you years of work!
