Highcharts vs Redux: What are the differences?
Highcharts: A charting library written in pure JavaScript, offering an easy way of adding interactive charts to your web site or web application. Highcharts currently supports line, spline, area, areaspline, column, bar, pie, scatter, angular gauges, arearange, areasplinerange, columnrange, bubble, box plot, error bars, funnel, waterfall and polar chart types; Redux: Predictable state container for JavaScript apps. Redux helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test. On top of that, it provides a great developer experience, such as live code editing combined with a time traveling debugger.
Highcharts belongs to "Charting Libraries" category of the tech stack, while Redux can be primarily classified under "State Management Library".
Some of the features offered by Highcharts are:
- It works in all modern mobile and desktop browsers including the iPhone/iPad and Internet Explorer from version 6
- Free for non-commercial
- One of the key features of Highcharts is that under any of the licenses, free or not, you are allowed to download the source code and make your own edits
On the other hand, Redux provides the following key features:
- Predictable state
- Easy testing
- Works with other view layers besides React
"Low learning curve and powerful" is the top reason why over 26 developers like Highcharts, while over 175 developers mention "State is predictable" as the leading cause for choosing Redux.
Highcharts and Redux are both open source tools. It seems that Redux with 49.5K GitHub stars and 12.8K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Highcharts with 8.79K GitHub stars and 2.32K GitHub forks.
Instagram, Intuit, and OpenGov are some of the popular companies that use Redux, whereas Highcharts is used by Webedia, WebbyLab, and Zumba. Redux has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1036 company stacks & 832 developers stacks; compared to Highcharts, which is listed in 212 company stacks and 40 developer stacks.
I have used highcharts and it is pretty awesome for my previous project. now as I am about to start my new project I want to use other charting libraries such as recharts, chart js, Nivo, d3 js.... my upcoming project might use react js as front end and laravel as a backend technology. the project would be of hotel management type. please suggest me the best charts to use
I've used Highcharts with both Angular Js Reactive applications (render as ReactJs) and also a bit of D3. Personally I found Highcharts to be the easiest to use but, with still quite a good level of customisability if you need it. graphs and charts then give D3 a try.
