JavaScript Charting Plugin Highstock

Main Advantages (Features)

Compatibility

Highstock works in browsers on all mobile devices and computers, including iPhone, iPad, and IE6 and later versions. Highstock supports multitouch functionality on iOS and Android, providing an excellent user experience. It uses SVG technology for chart rendering in modern browsers and VML for rendering in older versions of IE.

Free for Non-Commercial Use

You can use Highstock freely on personal websites, school websites, and nonprofit organization websites without obtaining our permission!

For commercial websites or applications, please see our License Agreement and Pricing.

Open-source

One of the most important features of Highstock is that both the free and paid versions allow you to download and edit the source code.

Through the open-source community, we can quickly obtain user feedback, fix bugs, and incorporate community contributions.

Pure JavaScript

Highstock is entirely based on HTML5 technology and does not require any client-side plugins such as Flash or Java. You also do not need to configure any server-side environment or use PHP, Tomcat, ASP.NET, or other technologies. Only two JS files are required to run it.

Rich Variety of Chart Types

Highstock supports various chart types, including line charts, spline charts, area charts, area spline charts, column charts, scatter charts, candlestick charts (OHLC), K-line charts, label charts, area range charts, and column range charts. Many of these chart types can be combined in a single chart to create mixed visualizations.

Simple Configuration Syntax

Setting configuration options in Highstock does not require any advanced programming skills. All configurations are JSON objects that contain only key-value pairs connected by colons, separated by commas, and enclosed in braces. JSON is easy for humans to read and write, as well as easy for machines to parse and generate.

Dynamic Interactivity

Highstock supports rich interactive features. After a chart has been created, various APIs can be used to add, remove, or modify data series, data points, axes, and other elements.

Combined with jQuery's ajax functionality, it can support real-time data refreshing, manual data modification by users, and various other interactive features through event handling.

Range Selector

When working with large datasets, we may need to view data across different time ranges. Highstock provides a range selector that makes it easy to choose preset time ranges, such as 1 month, 1 quarter, or 1 year. You can also use the time input fields to select your desired data range.

Scrollbar and Navigator

The scrollbar and navigator provide a more intuitive way to navigate and view data within specific ranges.

Event Markers

By adding a flag data series, you can mark and annotate events related to the data.
