Highcharts

What Highcharts is

A charting library for developers. It renders interactive charts in a browser from JavaScript configuration, with a large set of chart types and options for styling and behaviour.

It is infrastructure for products, not a click-to-make-chart website.

What you can do with it

• Render interactive charts in a web page
• Configure colours, layout and behaviour
• Build dashboards and reporting views
• Embed visualisation inside a product
• Handle dynamic and comparative data
• Customise interactions for your audience

Who it is for

• Front-end and full-stack developers
• Product teams needing embedded charts
• Data product teams
• Teams building internal reporting tools

What to watch out for

• Licensing is not open source for commercial use: check the terms before shipping
• Performance needs testing with large datasets
• It requires development work, unlike no-code chart tools
• Accessibility of charts remains your responsibility
