Bokeh is a Python library for creating interactive visualizations that run in modern web browsers. It supports standalone HTML output as well as server‑backed applications with live Python callbacks.
Use cases
- Create interactive line, bar, and scatter plots in Jupyter notebooks.
- Build dashboards with widgets and real‑time streaming data.
- Embed responsive visualizations in web pages without writing JavaScript.
- Develop Bokeh server applications that react to user input via Python callbacks.
- Generate geographic maps and network graphs with hover tooltips.
When to choose
- You need high‑performance interactivity for large or streaming datasets.
- You prefer writing visualizations in Python and want optional JavaScript‑free output.
- Your workflow includes Jupyter notebooks or ASGI web frameworks like FastAPI.
- You want a mature, well‑documented library with extensive example gallery.
When to avoid
- You require ultra‑low‑latency rendering that only WebGL‑based libraries provide.
- You need a pure JavaScript library for front‑end developers without Python.
- Your project demands a small bundle size for static sites.
