C3.js vs React Timeseries Charts: What are the differences?
Developers describe C3.js as "A D3-based reusable chart library". c3 is a D3-based reusable chart library that enables deeper integration of charts into web applications. On the other hand, React Timeseries Charts is detailed as "Declarative and modular timeseries charting components for React". This library contains a set of modular charting components used for building flexible interactive charts. It was built for React from the ground up, specifically to visualize timeseries data and network traffic data in particular.
C3.js and React Timeseries Charts can be primarily classified as "Charting Libraries" tools.
Some of the features offered by C3.js are:
- Comfortable - C3 makes it easy to generate D3-based charts by wrapping the code required to construct the entire chart. We don't need to write D3 code any more.
- Customizable - C3 gives some classes to each element when generating, so you can define a custom style by the class and it's possible to extend the structure directly by D3.
- Controllable - C3 provides a variety of APIs and callbacks to access the state of the chart. By using them, you can update the chart even if after it's rendered.
On the other hand, React Timeseries Charts provides the following key features:
- Declarative layout of charts using JSX
- Composition into multiple axis and multiple rows and overlays
- Interactivity, including pan and zoom, selection and highlighting
