Ask HN: What charts JavaScript library to use?

2 points by willlma ↗ HN
This was asked about three years ago, but times have changed and I'd love to hear some newer answers.

From what I've looked into, here are some thoughts.

D3 is too complex. I'd like to get up and running fast with some basic chart types and preferably something extensible.

Chartist uses SVG, which is slow for large datasets. Also, it doesn't have tooltip/hover state.

Chart.js has performance issues with large datasets. Is this true?

Any thoughts on Google charts?

It depends on how large is your dataset, But in my use cases I found HighCharts pretty good ( Its free for non commercial )
