What is the difference between D3.js and Cytoscape.js? [closed]
What is the difference between D3.js and Cytoscape.js? Why would someone choose Cytoscape over D3.js? D3 is for charts and mostly static graphs. Cytoscape.js lets you manipulate highly-customisable and interactive graphs, and has an API as easy to use as jQuery. D3 is for arbitrary SVG . This means that although it can be used to make lots of different things, you have to build the renderer, interaction, and model yourself. Sometimes that's what you need. (Note SVG tends not to be able to performantly render highly complex scenes with lots of SVG elements, so evaluate your app's requirements
