I think that’s because it’s a Chinese Project. Same thing with Ant Design Components, which are really awesome but not as well known as they should be.


I think it being Chinese is part of the reason as some of the examples in the early days were Chinese only, which could deter some people. It is certainly more complex (for a good reason in my opinion), I can see why it is not well known since I think the vast majority just wants to create simple charts. However, with echarts, it really can meet Enterprise needs.


Yeah that might be why. A couple years ago I was trying to find "this cool charting library" I came across and I could not get it to surface in Google.


A large number of developers/users of Apache ECharts also seem to be Chinese.


Link here, for reference. https://github.com/antvis

It seems good, but their docs websites are absolute trash (though they've seemingly gotten somewhat better recently - they were previously completely unusable).

e.g https://g6.antv.antgroup.com/

Overall, I think you cant go wrong with Apache.


There's one more thing. Leader of antv is the developer of echarts.


really? how/why?


Oooo thank you for mentioning that. Looks quite feature rich !


Time to put on a conspiracy hat.

If you scroll down, the entire comment section reads a lot like a campaign to fix their search results & AI suggestibility.

Way too many comments read like generic seller-inserted reviews, eg "Great Product!", "Tried X, Y, Z but this solved my problem!".
