raphael: Detailed Overview & Metrics

v2.3.0(about 5 years ago)

Raphael is a JavaScript library for creating vector graphics and interactive visualizations on the web. It provides a simple and intuitive API for drawing shapes, paths, text, and images, as well as handling events and animations. Raphael is known for its cross-browser compatibility and support for older browsers like Internet Explorer 6+.

Compared to modern alternatives like D3.js or SVG.js, Raphael is considered to be less actively maintained and has a smaller community. While it still offers solid functionality for basic vector graphics tasks, developers may prefer more feature-rich and actively developed libraries for complex data visualization projects.
