If you're working in React, check out Victory. It's based on D3, but it's intended to be much easier to get started with. There's a version for React Native too: https://github.com/FormidableLabs/victory https://github.com/FormidableLabs/victory-native

Looks like you're the main maintainer of Victory. I went from Recharts to Victory and back again.

If anyone is looking for a React-based charts library check out Recharts at https://github.com/recharts/recharts.

It's fairly simple and in some cases, gives you the ability to overide functionality with your own functions/React components which is fairly sweet. So for instance, I have customised my tooltip.

I hate to see comments like yours go out without a couple concrete points that led you to your decision.

Feedback like yours can be so valuable, especially with the maintainer of Victory here. There's just no way to replace the knowledge/lessons learned from real life developer user experience.

I’m moderately experienced in d3. I remember trying to pick up Semiotic[0], a similar library, but eventually turning to Victory instead. I will probably stick with it in the future if I do more data visualizing in React.
