NVD3 is a reusable charting library for D3.js that provides a collection of re-usable charts and components for visualizing data. It simplifies the process of creating interactive and visually appealing charts such as line charts, bar charts, pie charts, and more. NVD3 leverages the power of D3.js for data manipulation and SVG rendering, making it easy to customize and extend the charts to suit specific needs.
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.
