Krist Wongsuphasawat—Outlier 2021—Navigating the Wide World of Data Visualization Libraries

Navigating the Wide World of Data Visualization Libraries Which visualization library should I use?”Typically, making this decision is not about whether one library is “better” than another, but whether the specific library is more suitable for what the developer is trying to achieve.To answer this question thoroughly, we need to better understand the design space of visualization libraries. The talk will give a tour of many kinds of visualization libraries on the web across the design space, while explaining the framework and design philosophy that the audience can learn along the way. The audience will expand their horizon and be more aware of the wide universe of libraries. The next time they come across a new package, they can use this framework as a lens to analyze its own offerings and how it is different from or similar to the libraries that they already know.
