D3.js vs. Webix UI

D3.js is great for visualizing with medium and small size datasets. It's also great for prototyping visualizations quickly and sharing on the web so others can view it without having to install any software on their machines

Webix makes it easy to build a complex Web UI. Combining technologies (like React and Webix) is tricky. Most features work as expected but some are tricky. In way React Components "communicate" and the way a complete Webix Form works is not exactly compatible. Some of these problems are not obvious. However with a good design it is easy to fix. React has to orchestrate the page and each Webix Component / Form is independent from the others and relies only on Rect to integrate. Using Webix alone (iE with the JEt Framework) is trivial but was not enough for our whole application.

• Wide variety of visualization collections.
• Easy to customize existing visualization collections and add extended functionality.
• It takes some learning curve, but after that, it's easy to reuse across multiple similar problems with little changes.

• Customizable widgets and controls help you to present different types of data nicely and work with it.
• Most of the popular data formats are supported. Large component library and rich UI.

• Has a steep initial learning curve.
• It is slow when dealing with really large datasets.
• Not great for making maps.

• Since we are using react as foundation it was difficult to use some features in our environment. In the beginning we tried to have a drag and drop customizable Webix UI combined with React and failed miserably doing so. Current Version has a much better React integration.

Support can be improved by providing more educational videos.

Webix UI is a cross-browser, cross-device JavaScript framework which makes it easy to build a complex Web UI. Most features work as expected. While working with large datasets, you can load data dynamically to reduce complexity and improve performance. It provides a set of integration extensions that allow you to add third-party tools into an application.

D3.js gives a better aesthetic feel on the charts and as a developer, it gives more options to customize on the charts.

It seems very convenient to us. It has a large component library and rich UI. The navigation is great. The documentation is very good as well. The Kanban board is fantastic and flexible.

• Rapid Development using templates helps faster delivery of the project.
• Documentation requires a lot of time to study.
• D3 creates high-quality visual effects which can be used over large screens.
