vis-network is a JavaScript library for rendering dynamic, interactive network graphs of nodes and edges using HTML canvas. It supports customizable shapes, styles, clustering for large graphs, and smooth performance for thousands of nodes in modern browsers.

Use cases

• visualize a network graph of nodes and edges in the browser
• render an interactive dependency or relationship diagram
• display a large graph with clustering in JavaScript
• build a customizable node-link diagram with custom shapes and colors
• show dynamic network topology that updates in real time
• embed an org chart or social graph visualization in a web app

When to choose

• you need interactive, browser-based network/graph visualization with rich styling
• your graph has up to a few thousand nodes and you want smooth canvas rendering
• you want automatic layout and clustering out of the box

When to avoid

• you need static chart types like bar or line charts rather than graphs
• you need server-side or non-browser rendering
• you need WebGL-scale performance for graphs with hundreds of thousands of nodes
