Creating interactive and visually appealing charts is an essential skill for developers working on modern web applications.
In this article I've compiled some of the most useful React Data Visualization and graphics libraries that you could use to speed up your development.
1. Chart.js
Chart.js provides a set of frequently used chart types, plugins, and customization options. In addition to a reasonable set of built-in chart types, you can use additional community-maintained chart types.
Why Chart.js?
Chart.js is highly customizable with custom plugins to create annotations, zoom, or drag-and-drop functionalities to name a few things.
Chart.js is currently the most popular one according to GitHub stars (~60,000) and npm downloads (~2,400,000 weekly).

2. D3
D3 (or D3.js) is a free, open-source JavaScript library for visualizing data.
Its low-level approach built on web standards offers unparalleled flexibility in authoring dynamic, data-driven graphics. For more than a decade D3 has powered groundbreaking and award-winning visualizations, become a foundational building block of higher-level chart libraries, and fostered a vibrant community of data practitioners around the world.

3. Recharts
