What is the best React-based charting library for interactive plots with large datasets?

[lodhik9]

I'm currently evaluating React-based plotting libraries for a project where we need to implement interactive charts such as line, bar, and scatter plots. The goal is to find a library that offers good performance, usability, and long-term maintainability.

Requirements:

• Must support large datasets (1,000–10,000+ points).
• Should offer interactivity: zooming, tooltips, hover effects.
• Needs to be easy to integrate into an existing React app.
• Good TypeScript support and documentation.
• Must be free for commercial use.
• Should be actively maintained with a strong community.

Evaluation Criteria:

• Performance (20%)
• Feature Set (20%)
• Developer Experience (15%)
• Integration Simplicity (15%)
• Community & Maintenance (15%)
• License & Commercial Use (15%)

Context:
We currently use ChartDirector 7.1 (C++ Edition) in the backend. The new library should be able to replicate similar chart types and capabilities.

What I’ve looked into:
So far, I’ve considered:

• Recharts

• Nivo

• Victory

• React-Chartjs-2

• Apache ECharts

• Visx

I plan to build a small proof of concept with 2–3 of these libraries, but I’d appreciate insights from developers who have worked with these libraries in production.

Question:
Which React charting library would you recommend based on the above criteria? Are there any performance benchmarks or real-world experiences you can share, especially with large datasets and interactivity?
