Each library is evaluated across rendering model (SVG vs Canvas), SSR/Next.js App Router compatibility, bundle size, performance characteristics, and ideal use cases. Key guidance: Recharts is the practical default for most dashboards; Canvas-based libraries (ECharts, react-chartjs-2) suit large datasets and real-time updates; visx offers maximum control at the cost of more setup; Victory is best for React Native parity; MUI X Charts fits Material UI projects. The post also covers performance tips like memoization, downsampling, and accessibility considerations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
