Compare Highcharts vs. VisuallyJs

Highcharts, a Javascript-based charting library, makes it easy to add interactive charts and graphs to web or mobile projects of any size. Highcharts is used by more than 80% of the 100 biggest companies in the world, as well as thousands of developers from a variety of industries, including finance, publishing, application development, and data science. Highcharts is in active development since 2009. It remains a favorite among developers due to its robust feature set and ease-of-use documentation, accessibility features and vibrant community.

VisuallyJs is a JavaScript and TypeScript diagramming and visual UI library designed to help developers build interactive diagrams, charts, dashboards, and node-based applications quickly. The library works with popular frameworks including React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, JavaScript, and TypeScript. Developers can use VisuallyJs to create flowchart builders, BPMN editors, chatbot editors, call flow designers, ERD tools, database schema editors, Gantt charts, kanban boards, org charts, mindmaps, dashboards, and supply chain or network infrastructure analyzers. The platform includes tools for rendering SVG shapes, resizing and rotating elements, dragging shapes from palettes, applying automatic layouts, and exporting diagrams as SVG, PNG, or JPG files. Its charting capabilities support column, bar, area, line, scatter, bubble, pie, gauge, sankey, and other specialized chart types. VisuallyJs can use a shared data model as the source of truth for diagrams, applications, and charts, helping teams build dynamic visual interfaces from connected data. Pre-built templates help developers start faster while still allowing deep customization for specific workflows. Plugins such as miniview, lasso selection, backgrounds, controls, drawing tools, snaplines, pan buttons, and scrolling list management add advanced interaction capabilities. VisuallyJs helps developers create robust graphical front ends and professional visual applications without building every diagramming feature from scratch.
