The monorepo behind Our World in Data's Grapher, a platform for creating and publishing embeddable, interactive data visualizations such as line, bar, and map charts. It includes the client-side Grapher charting library, an Explorer tool for multi-indicator interfaces, an admin UI/server backed by MySQL, and a static site baker. Note: the code is view-only under a restrictive license and is not designed for reuse as a library.
Use cases
- embed interactive data charts in a website
- build interactive data explorer interfaces
- study how a production data visualization platform is built
- create chart configurations backed by a database
- publish a static site of data-driven articles with charts
When to choose
- you want to study or contribute to Our World in Data's visualization stack
- you need reference architecture for database-driven interactive charting
- you are collaborating with OWID and have written permission to reuse the code
When to avoid
- you need an open-source charting library you can freely copy, modify, or redistribute (the license forbids reuse without permission)
- you want a lightweight standalone charting tool decoupled from OWID's MySQL database
- you need a general-purpose visualization library like a drop-in chart component
