Highcharts® Core

All our charting libraries work with any back-end database or server stack. Provide data in any format, including CSV and JSON, or load and update it live. Official integrations are available for popular languages such as PHP, Python, R, and Java, as well as frameworks like React, Angular, Vue.js and Svelte. Additional community integrations are also available.

Thanks to the native integration of TypeScript declarations, the Highcharts NPM package allows type checking for most options and functions, including auto-complete code with integrated documentation for TypeScript-capable editors like Visual Studio Code.

Our elegant charts render crisp and clear at any resolution and are easily styled via our simple options-structure using JavaScript or CSS. Highcharts is also extendable and pluggable for experts seeking advanced animations and functionality. Check out some advanced cool use cases in our community section, and plugins in our extensions directory.

Intelligent responsiveness not only adjusts the chart to the dimensions of its container but also automatically places non-graph elements such as labels, legends, and headings in the most optimal location.

Multi-touch gesture support allows for a native experience on mobile and touch screens. Touch gestures include single touch-drag for data inspection, multi-touch for zooming, and more.

Draw simple shapes and text anywhere on the canvas to describe charts or tether them to specific data points. The annotation module also includes an API to configure toolbars and dialogues for end-users to place their annotations on a chart. Placement and visibility of annotations intelligently respond to canvas/screen size at run-time.

Highcharts offers an accessible interactive chart solution to empower people with disabilities. Each Highcharts license includes our Accessibility module and a flexible sonification API. The Accessibility module allows you to create charts as accessible as possible, whereas the sonification API helps you support multiple ways to bring data to life with sound. Visit our Accessibility Portal for more information.

With Highcharts, source data can be post-processed in the client to improve the user experience. An excellent data processing feature is the ability to sort data, regardless of whether the data source is sorted.

When you need to render thousands or millions of data points in the browser, our WebGL-powered boost module delivers incredible speed.

With the export module enabled, your users can export the chart to PNG, JPG, PDF or SVG format at the click of a button, or print the chart directly from the web page.

The Highcharts Debugger will help you speed up development by providing instantaneous warnings and error reports above your charts. The error messages provide clear instructions on how to resolve your issue.

Download the source code, inspect it, and make your edits as you wish. A trial license is not required to try the code. When you are ready to use the software for commercial projects, the appropriate license must be in place. Please see our shop for more information.
