G2 is a JavaScript/TypeScript visualization grammar library implementing the Grammar of Graphics, supporting canvas, SVG, and WebGL rendering. It provides a declarative API for building interactive charts for dashboards, data exploration, and storytelling.

Use cases

• build interactive dashboards with charts
• create data visualizations in javascript
• declarative charting library for web apps
• explore data visually in the browser
• add animated and interactive charts to a web app
• implement grammar of graphics charts

When to choose

• you want a flexible grammar-based charting approach rather than fixed chart types
• you need interactive, animated charts rendered via canvas, SVG, or WebGL
• you want a declarative API with high extensibility for custom marks, scales, and transforms

When to avoid

• you need a simple high-level chart library with opinionated defaults and minimal configuration
• you are building non-web environments like native mobile or server-side image generation without a DOM/canvas
• your team prefers imperative chart APIs like ECharts-style option trees
