vis-timeline is a JavaScript library for rendering fully customizable, interactive timelines and 2D graphs in the browser. It supports items with single dates or start/end ranges, drag-and-zoom navigation, and automatic time-axis scaling from milliseconds to years.

Use cases

• visualize events on an interactive timeline in a web app
• create a zoomable gantt-style chart with date ranges
• plot time-series data on a 2D graph
• let users create, edit, and delete timeline items
• display project schedules or historical events with pan and zoom

When to choose

• you need an interactive, customizable timeline or time-based chart in the browser
• you want drag/zoom navigation with automatic time-axis scaling
• you need editable timeline items with two-way data binding

When to avoid

• you need static, non-interactive chart images
• you need general-purpose charts like bar or pie charts (use a general charting library)
• you need server-side rendering of charts
