Chart.js vs Modernizr: What are the differences?

Chart.js: Simple, clean and engaging charts for designers and developers. Visualize your data in 6 different ways. Each of them animated, with a load of customisation options and interactivity extensions; Modernizr: Respond to your user’s browser features. It’s a collection of superfast tests or detects as we like to call them which run as your web page loads, then you can use the results to tailor the experience to the user. It tells you what HTML, CSS and JavaScript features the user’s browser has to offer.

Chart.js and Modernizr are primarily classified as "Charting Libraries" and "JavaScript Compilers" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Chart.js are:

animated
HTML5 based
Responsive

On the other hand, Modernizr provides the following key features:

Easy to deliver tiered experiences
Make use of the latest and greatest features in browsers
Without leaving less fortunate users high and dry.

Chart.js and Modernizr are both open source tools. It seems that Chart.js with 44.7K GitHub stars and 9.79K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Modernizr with 23.8K GitHub stars and 3.04K GitHub forks.

According to the StackShare community, Chart.js has a broader approval, being mentioned in 16 company stacks & 31 developers stacks; compared to Modernizr, which is listed in 28 company stacks and 11 developer stacks.

Highcharts

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.
