jsreport is an open-source JavaScript-based reporting platform and server for designing and rendering reports using templating engines like Handlebars. It outputs HTML, PDF, Excel, DOCX, and CSV, and ships with a web-based designer, REST API, scheduling, user management, and email delivery.

Use cases

• generate pdf reports from html templates
• create excel reports from an xlsx template
• schedule recurring report generation and email delivery
• embed a reporting server into a node.js application
• design reports with a web-based report designer
• render invoices or e-tickets as pdf via a REST API
• build dashboards with charts exported to pdf

When to choose

• you need a self-hosted reporting server with multiple output formats
• you want to define reports with JavaScript templating engines and full CSS support
• you need scheduling, versioning, and user management out of the box
• you want to render reports programmatically via REST API, CLI, or SDKs

When to avoid

• you only need simple one-off PDF generation without a reporting server
• you require a permissive license - jsreport is LGPL-3.0
• your stack is not JavaScript/Node.js based and you prefer native reporting tools
• you need heavy statistical BI features rather than document generation
