Highcharts

The only charting library you need. Highcharts is a pure JavaScript/TypeScript charting library, built from scratch that makes it easy to create responsive, interactive, and accessible charts for web and mobile platforms.

Trusted by 80 out of the world's 100 largest companies, Highcharts offers a comprehensive suite including Highcharts Core, Stock (financial charting), Maps (geo maps), and Gantt.

Also note the related packages for Highcharts Dashboards, Highcharts Grid Lite, and Highcharts Grid Pro.

Note:
This package is intended for supporting client-side JavaScript charting through bundlers like Parcel, Vite or Webpack, and development environments like Babel or TypeScript. If you intend to generate static charts on the server side, use the Highcharts node.js Export Server instead.

Why Highcharts?

$3

Despite the comprehensive feature set, Highcharts has a small core library optimized for performance, with zero dependencies. With ES6 module support and tree shaking, you only load what you need, keeping your bundle size minimal and your applications fast. WebGL/WebGPU features boost the rendering of millions of data points if necessary.

Note on package size: The npm package includes all additional modules, typescript typing, various module loading options, and additional packages. However, the actual library you bundle is lightweight. We always strive to keep the core highcharts.js minified & gzipped at <100kB, with zero dependencies.

$3

From area to x-range, all major chart types and more are included. Whether you need basic visualizations or complex financial charts, we've got you covered.

$3

Built-in accessibility features like keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and audio charts help you reach the widest audience possible. We actively contribute to research in the field of accessible data visualization, and strive to make data more accessible to all.

$3

Choose whether to style your charts via code configuration or CSS. Any visual element can be customized, and let you create on-brand visualizations that render crisp and clear at any resolution. Customizability also goes beyond the visual, allowing deep nested interactions if your use-case requires it.

`ts
import Highcharts from 'highcharts/esm/highcharts.js';
// Or load Stock, Maps, or Gantt
// import Highcharts from 'highcharts/esm/highstock.js';

// Load additional modules as needed
import 'highcharts/esm/modules/exporting.js';

// Create your chart
Highcharts.chart('container', {
// options - see https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts
});
`

#### With Babel
`js
import Highcharts from 'highcharts/esm/highcharts';
// Or load Stock, Maps, or Gantt
