## What it is
Rickshaw is a JavaScript toolkit for creating interactive real-time time-series graphs, built on top of D3 and rendered as SVG. It provides composable elements such as renderers, legends, hovers, and range selectors for assembling charts in the browser.

## Use cases
- plot real-time time series data in the browser
- create interactive line, area, and bar charts with d3
- build dashboards with legends, hovers, and range selectors
- render stacked area or stacked bar charts from JSON data
- add live-updating charts to a monitoring UI

## When to choose
- you need interactive time-series charts built on D3/SVG with fine CSS control
- you want composable chart components like legends, hovers, and range sliders
- you're plotting streaming or real-time metrics in a web dashboard

## When to avoid
- you need a batteries-included charting library with a high-level API like Chart.js or ECharts
- your project uses a modern framework and you prefer React/Vue chart bindings
- you need chart types beyond time-series (e.g., maps, 3D, heatmaps)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, charts
- domain: data-visualization, frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: d3, svg, time-series, real-time-graphs, javascript, nodejs
