Canvas or svg for dynamic charts?

Question

css

Hello. Interested in the pros and cons of using canvas / svg for graphs and charts that will dynamically change before our eyes. What do you advise?

Answer 1

SVG is more convenient, Canvas (with the right approach) is faster - so choose.
And then I made a page with responsive SVG charts with the Chartist.js library

There are 20 of them on the page, but each one is generally quite simple.
So my browser window resize (powerful desktop, fast modern browser) works out in 2 seconds. And on a mobile phone, the whole thing is drawn in 5-7 seconds.
