Summary

Data visualization helps us understand the patterns behind a set of numbers. JavaScript offers many options for creating graphics, ranging from manual canvas to ready-to-use libraries such as Plotly.js, Chart.js, Google Charts, and D3.js. The library selection is tailored to the type of data and the level of interactivity desired.
