AnyChart
AnyChart is a JavaScript library for cross-platform data visualization in the form of interactive charts and dashboards. It was initially available as a Flash chart component and integrated as such by Oracle in APEX.
History
AnyChart was first developed in 2003 as a Flash chart component to visualize XML data.[citation needed]
In 2007, Oracle licensed AnyChart to implement Flash charting in Oracle Application Express (APEX) used by 100,000 developers monthly as of March 2007.[1][2][3]
With the APEX 4.2 release in 2012, AnyChart 6 was introduced with the support of HTML5 charts based on SVG rendering in addition to Flash charts. Version 7.x of AnyChart was already completely based on JavaScript and HTML5.[2]
AnyChart 8.x first released in 2017 has a modular system and supports more than 90 chart types, including variations of basic charts, Gantt charts, meteorological and environmental data graphs (such as air temperature and precipitation, depth measures [4]), and maps, along with custom drawing and diverse options to work with data. In 2019, it also became available as visualization extensions for Qlik Sense.[5][6]
License
AnyChart is free for non-profit use and requires a paid license for use in commercial software. Its source code is open on GitHub since release 7.13.0. The library's graphics rendering engine is available under the free BSD license; it was tweaked from AnyChart and open-sourced as a separate JavaScript API under the name of GraphicsJS in 2016.[7][8][9]
Awards
AnyChart has industry awards. In 2016, ProgrammableWeb named it one of the most interesting big data and analytics APIs,[10] and the CIOReview magazine included it in the top 20 data visualization tools.[11]
In 2018, AnyChart won a DEVIES award at DeveloperWeek in California for the Best Innovation in JavaScript Technology.[12][13]
