A great choice for implementing graphs and charts in React applications, you get awesome features such as brush & zoom. However, achieving decent chart results takes more time & it is recommended to use this library only if you are working on a personal project as it is easy to use when compared to others.

  • It comes with a limited number of visualizing tools, however, it is easier to use but lacks while controlling _label positioning, width _&_ height_.

  • You can also work with charts and graphs in React Native using this library, also its is considered a good choice because it doesn't directly interact with the DOM like other libraries.

A powerful library for large-scale data sets, built on top of deck.gl it can render millions of points. As a React component, it uses Redux to manage its state and data flow, which gives the flexibility to customized like any other Redux state. To work with kepler.gl you simply have to mount the kepler.gl React component in the UI and kepler.gl reducer in the root reducer.

  • This library is recommended to use in large-scale applications and personal projects as well as it is well maintained by the developers at Uber.

  • Using kepler.gl takes some time as compared to other data visualization libraries.

One of my personal favorite chart libraries as a React Native developer, this library provides all the essential features with good documentation at our fingertips. Fusioncharts supports vast chart types & maps with easy integration to any tech stack.

  • It is quite simple and you don't have to be super good at React as it doesn't require any deep knowledge of React libraries for your first visualization.

  • It also provides a set of basic building blocks which makes getting started easier._ For example_, separate X & Y components provide a high level of control on laying out charts.

  • It supports React’s lifecycle and doesn't create unnecessary nodes.
