Should I use WebGl to display 2d plots?

Question

JavaScript

I want to use in the project (web application and mobile versions for ios and android) dynamic charts like Highstock .
I am considering writing from scratch on WebGl or using pixi.js .
Haven't worked with WebGl before. Will it be adequate to use this technology to speed up the display of 2d graphs with a large amount of data (~ 100t points)?

Answer 1

Not worth it. There is such a thing as approximation. The user will still not consider 100k points, and for a small number of points, conventional tools are also suitable. Spend a lot of time, there will be practically no gain (only you will have problems with development later).

Answer 2

In the long run, yes, because soon there will be no pure 2D graphics at all. Any div or canvas element is either already or will soon be rendered on the graphics card using OpenGL/DirectX.
