Charting solutions for Yesod

Question

Currently I am using hs-gchart do build charts to embed charts in my web application. I have seen that tkyprof uses d3.js. What other charting solutions are being used with yesod? What are the pros and cons of these solutions?

Answer 1

hledger-web uses flot. Pro: very easy, featureful, supported, no dependence on google or net access, offloads rendering work to clients, probably makes your haskell build life much easier (no need for GTK). Con: not as well integrated with your app as a haskell solution would be.

There is also HighCharts which is probably the flashiest js charting lib and free for non-commercial use.

Answer 2

I think d3.js should also be mentioned. There is a DSL approach to d3js in Haskell.
