## awesome-web-visualization-frameworks [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re)

The number of libraries for visualization on the web is huge.

This awesome list is an attempt to create a growing list of frameworks listed for easy reference.



#### An item on this list is awesome because:

1. it can be used to visualize data in a modern browser

2. it is free, open source and actively maintained

3. it supports at least one of SVG, Canvas or WebGL



[Contributions](#contributions) are welcome.
