Highcharts vs Koto: What are the differences?

What is Highcharts? A charting library written in pure JavaScript, offering an easy way of adding interactive charts to your web site or web application. Highcharts currently supports line, spline, area, areaspline, column, bar, pie, scatter, angular gauges, arearange, areasplinerange, columnrange, bubble, box plot, error bars, funnel, waterfall and polar chart types.

What is Koto? A D3 charting framework written in ES6. KotoJS is HEAVILY inspired by another reusable charting framework maintained by the Miso Project called d3.chart. I think that project is well designed and well documented. For those who are not familiar with d3.chart, the framework provides a logical way to ensure that all data-visualization components that are authored using the framework are done in a way that facilitates re-usablily.

Highcharts and Koto belong to "Charting Libraries" category of the tech stack.

Highcharts and Koto are both open source tools. Highcharts with 8.79K GitHub stars and 2.32K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Koto with 282 GitHub stars and 15 GitHub forks.

I've used Highcharts with both Angular Js Reactive applications (render as ReactJs) and also a bit of D3. Personally I found Highcharts to be the easiest to use but, with still quite a good level of customisability if you need it. graphs and charts then give D3 a try.
