Chartist is a lightweight, responsive charting library that renders charts as inline SVG in the DOM. It is written in TypeScript, ships as a tree-shakable ES module, and relies on standard web technologies (SVG, CSS, JavaScript) instead of canvas.
Use cases
- add responsive charts to a website
- render lightweight SVG line, bar, and pie charts
- style charts with CSS instead of canvas
- embed small-bundle charts in a frontend app
- create designer-friendly customizable charts
- draw charts that scale responsively across devices
When to choose
- you need small bundle size and tree-shakable ESM charts
- you want charts styled and customized via CSS and the DOM
- you prefer SVG rendering over canvas
- you want a simple, unopinionated charting API with TypeScript types
When to avoid
- you need complex built-in interactions like tooltips, zooming, or legends out of the box
- you need heavy-duty charting with many series types or 3D charts
- you prefer canvas-based rendering for very large datasets
