## What it is
ECharts-GL is an extension pack for Apache ECharts that adds 3D plots, globe visualization, and WebGL acceleration. It integrates with ECharts via the standard setOption API and supports tree-shakeable imports of individual 3D chart types.

## Use cases
- render 3D scatter plots in the browser
- visualize data on a 3D globe
- add WebGL-accelerated charts to ECharts dashboards
- create 3D bar and surface charts from datasets
- plot geographic data on an interactive globe

## When to choose
- you already use Apache ECharts and need 3D or globe visualizations
- you want WebGL performance for large 3D datasets in the browser

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone 3D engine rather than charting extensions
- you use an ECharts version incompatible with the matching GL major version

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, graphics
- domain: data-visualization, frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: webgl, echarts, 3d-plots, globe-visualization, charts, nodejs, javascript
