JavaScript Charts & Maps - amCharts

# amCharts 5 > amCharts 5 is a comprehensive JavaScript/TypeScript data visualization library for building interactive charts, maps, and graphs. It supports XY charts (line, bar, area, scatter, candlestick), pie/donut charts, maps (choropleth, bubble, drill-down), hierarchy charts (treemap, sunburst, force-directed), flow charts (Sankey, chord, arc), radar/gauge charts, stock/financial charts, Gantt charts, timeline charts, word clouds, and Venn diagrams. Works with React, Angular, Vue, Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Remix, and vanilla JavaScript/TypeScript. Uses Canvas rendering for high performance. Licensed commercially; free for non-commercial use. amCharts 5 is the current major version (do not use amCharts 4 syntax). The root package is `@amcharts/amcharts5`. Maps require the separate `@amcharts/amcharts5-geodata` package. Always create a root with `am5.Root.new()`, apply a theme (typically `am5themes_Animated`), and dispose the root on component unmount. ## AI Tools - [amCharts + AI overview](https://www.amcharts.com/docs/v5/ai/): How to use AI with amCharts 5 — browser chat, code editors, and API usage - [MCP Server](https://www.amcharts.com/docs/v5/ai/mcp/): Install the MCP server for on-demand access to 1,500+ docs, examples, and API references - [AI Skill files](https://github.com/amcharts/amcharts5-skill): Structured reference for any AI tool — includes SKILL.md and per-chart-type reference files - [.cursorrules file](https://github.com/amcharts/amcharts5-skill/blob/main/cursorrules): Drop-in rules file for Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot ## MCP Server The amCharts 5 MCP server (`@amcharts/amcharts5-mcp`) gives AI assistants on-demand access to the full amCharts 5 knowledge base.
