What amCharts is
amCharts is a JavaScript library for creating charts, maps, stock charts, and Gantt visualizations. The Charts product lists more than 60 chart types, Canvas rendering, and a TypeScript-first API, with guides for React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Nuxt, Remix, and vanilla JavaScript. Maps includes bundled GeoJSON maps, projections, heat rules, drill-down, and point clustering without a tile server or API key. Stock Chart includes 34 technical indicators, 22 drawing tools, comparison mode, and automatic data grouping. Gantt supports drag-and-drop task editing, dependency links, progress tracking, and PNG, JPG, or PDF export. Charts describes screen reader support, keyboard navigation, ARIA attributes, high-contrast modes, and WCAG AA readiness. The library can be installed through NPM, loaded from amCharts CDN URLs, or downloaded as standalone JavaScript files. It supports JSON, CSV, and external data URLs and can power interactive embedded dashboards. The free version includes full functionality and a small amCharts backlink; commercial licenses remove branding and are licensed independently for each product. The company is based in Vilnius, Lithuania; amMap began in 2004 and the first chart followed in 2006.
