Ask HN: What is the best HTML5 charting library?

5 pointsby kortinavor 15 Jahren8 comments

I'm looking for something that looks good crossbrowser, as well as on iPhone/iPad, Android, and is fairly easy to use.

http://zingchart.com renders in HTML5 Canvas and/or SVG, so it will render on older Androids that don't have SVG support. Also VML for auto fallback to IE6 w/out need for ExCanvas.

this may be something you could use, http://www.highcharts.com/ I like it, it's cross browser compatible!

Cool, I'll check it out. Thanks for the Rx. Is it pretty quick to work with for you?

i was hacking around under the covers of Mixpanel's 'Platform' a while back and if memory serves, they wrapped highcharts into their api for that product.

Go for Google charts, it's really awesome.

I always felt there were lots of gymnastics required to get data into a suitable format for Google charts (filling zeroes in time series, tough to work with multiple series, etc)
