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.
Chart.js is a simple yet flexible JavaScript charting library. It provides a variety of chart types and is easy to use, but it is less customizable and has fewer features for complex visualizations compared to D3.
Highcharts is a charting library written in pure JavaScript, offering an easy way of adding interactive charts to your web site or web application. Highcharts is more focused on charting and less on arbitrary graphics or complex data-driven transformations than D3.
C3 is a D3-based reusable chart library that enables deeper integration of charts into web applications. It simplifies the process of creating charts by providing a layer of abstraction over D3, but it is less flexible for creating highly customized visualizations.
Vega is a visualization grammar, a declarative language for creating, saving, and sharing interactive visualization designs. It can be seen as a higher-level visualization tool that abstracts away much of the complexity of D3, but with less direct control over the final output.
