ECharts is a powerful and interactive charting and visualization library for JavaScript. It provides a wide range of customizable chart types, including line, bar, pie, scatter, and more, making it suitable for various data visualization needs. ECharts supports responsive design, animation effects, and interactive features like zooming, dragging, and data filtering.
NVD3 is a reusable charting library for creating interactive and visually appealing data visualizations using D3.js. It provides a set of ready-to-use chart components like line charts, bar charts, pie charts, and scatter plots, making it easy to display complex data in a clear and engaging way. NVD3 simplifies the process of creating custom charts by handling the underlying D3.js logic and providing a higher-level API for developers.
ECharts is a more popular choice among developers, especially in the international community, due to its modern design, extensive documentation, and active development. NVD3, while still used, has seen a decline in popularity compared to ECharts.
Features
