It provides developers with simple, yet very powerful web-based charts & graphs which are easily accessible in a modern HTML5 dashboard by simply cloning the project into your site's root folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CanvasJS Charts? This library is my favorite on the list. So far so good, it integrates with pretty much every front and back end frameworks out there which to me is a MAJOR plus point for framework developers who don't want to build their own libraries from scratch and are not restricted in any way by design choices of this library. It's well implemented also, no random errors all the time that take hours to figure out. The UX is nice if you're into nostalgia and I think we (the team) could go as far as call this one an old-fashioned charm that will never get outdated, sleek and sharp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CanvasJS Charts solving and how is that benefiting you? CanvasJs is a JavaScript Charting Library built to be simple as well as powerful.

Principal Consultant Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/7/2020 "Easy to configure. Almost perfect." 5/5 What do you like best about CanvasJS Charts? Easy to configure. I was literally configured in a day for back testing a trading strategy. Easy to put several data points on to a single graph, and have multiple graphs, building a platform like a real trading desk. Manual is thorough and easy to follow. Contact with support was excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CanvasJS Charts? Candles could do with some finesse like TradingView.com - basically, changing the candles to lines when at a certain zoom.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/8/2020 "Easy to Use For A Beginner" 5/5 What do you like best about CanvasJS Charts? I have little experience in coding, let along visualizing data, so I was apprehensive to begin implementing canvasjs in my project, especially since I already had been using a different library to generate a few of my charts. However, I was unsatisfied with the charting library that I had been using as the documentation was not very clear - I was having a hard time giving labels and titles to simple graphs. When I stumbled upon canvasjs I decided to try it out in a separate branch, and to my surprise I had little difficulty in getting it up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CanvasJS Charts? I think any difficulties that I experienced in implementing canvasjs could likely be attributed to my own lack of experience. As I said above, I was able to get things figured out pretty quickly, but the step-by-step instructions could be a little bit more clear - especially in regards to the need to download a few specific files to the folder Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CanvasJS Charts solving and how is that benefiting you? I wanted to display a simple line graph with somewhere around 100 data points. I also wanted to be able to hover over each point to have its value displayed. CanvasJS charts has that set up without any extra work required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Haven't come across anything to dislike for my requirement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CanvasJS Charts solving and how is that benefiting you? My requirement was simple to create charts and host it on a webpage. Since my skills were limited with html and I didn't want to spend too much time in the internal workings of it, canvasJS suites me perfectly. Its easy to use and most of the question or requirements are probably in the examples itself and if its not then certainly their forum will have it. With someone who is actively working on these can make wonders with this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
