Chart.js vs fancybox: What are the differences?
Developers describe Chart.js as "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. On the other hand, fancybox is detailed as "JavaScript lightbox library for presenting various types of media". It is a tool that offers a nice and elegant way to add zooming functionality for images, html content and multi-media on your webpages. It is built on the top of the popular JavaScript framework jQuery and is both easy to implement and a snap to customize.
Chart.js and fancybox are primarily classified as "Charting Libraries" and "Javascript Utilities & Libraries" tools respectively.
Some of the features offered by Chart.js are:
- animated
- HTML5 based
- Responsive
On the other hand, fancybox provides the following key features:
- Looks great on every device
- Swipe to navigate, spread/pinch to zoom in/out supported on touch devices
- Supports most popular sites as YouTube, Vimeo and Google maps out of the box
Chart.js and fancybox are both open source tools. Chart.js with 44.9K GitHub stars and 9.84K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than fancybox with 6.36K GitHub stars and 1.58K GitHub forks.
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.
