About amCharts

amCharts is a JavaScript and TypeScript charting library for web developers. It covers 60+ chart types along with interactive geographic maps, financial stock charts and Gantt timelines, and draws on HTML5 Canvas by default with a setting to switch to SVG. Legends, tooltips, zoom, scrollbars, responsive layouts and accessibility features such as screen reader support, keyboard navigation and ARIA attributes are described as built in rather than added through plugins. Charts can also be composed in one container, stacked, gridded or overlaid.

The library is free to use, including commercially, provided a small amCharts backlink is retained; paid annual and perpetual plans remove it and add benefits such as free version upgrades and source code access. The entry is aimed at JavaScript developers, so some familiarity with code is expected. Bundled map data and components such as the stock indicators and Gantt tools vary by module.
