For quiet a few days now i had been searching for various online sources to get opensource jquery based graphs/charts, ofcource, as a freelancer i needed free graphs.
So, after some research i have come down to top two best opensource jquery based graphs based on their interactivity, documentation,UI and ease of use. I have also taken into consideration about various types that these api's support, like bar graph,pie chart, area chart etc...
Ok ready? here you go...
Google Chart Tools
Oh yeah! anything on the web apps, Google has to be their, right at the top.
Now, the reason , is simple, it provides various types of graphs that are interactive , easy to implement and works across all the browsers !. The more coolest thing is the clear picture with its awesome documentation. The X-factor being the geocharts and all for free!
One point to be taken care is that , for a commercial purpose the geo chart MAY BE limited. i will post more on that or perhaps you can comment and let me know.
Highcharts
Amazing UI chart, with interactive- animation using javascript and free for non commercial use.
This javascript graph library tops in many aspects!. It has a relatively good documenation. It has got themes, which is pretty impressive. My personal opinion is that highchart has more inter activeness than Google chart.
Look at the highchart demo for more instruction.
Please note that you have to pay in order to use it for commercial purpose!
jplot
jplot is another very good jquery based opensource chart library that can be used to deploy graphs. The advantage of jplot is that it has lot of options to play around , ability to easily plug with the data and ofcourse it is an open source.
you can see the jplot working demo here.
The disadvantage is that , it lacks interactivity unless like that of G graphs or highcharts.
So fa,r i found these top 3 usable graphs. Perhaps you can share more in the comments and help others!
