ECharts Java

"We bring better visualization into Java with ECharts"

📙 Introduction

ECharts Java is a lightweight but comprehensive library for Java developers to easily use JavaScript visualization library Apache ECharts. The simple chart mode facilitates users to write visualization fast and easily, empowered by the clean APIs provided by ECharts Java. The advanced mode helps create an Option object and its Json representation in chainable Java codes, which includes almost all the features defined in Apache ECharts. Now ECharts Java supports Apache ECharts version 5.x.

🌠 Features

Simple, clean and organized APIs, supporting method chaining
Full coverage of Apache ECharts functionalities
Easily integrate with Web Frameworks
Flexible export format, including HTML and images
Complete and detailed documentation and examples

🔭 Usage

Generate Local HTML and Download Image

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // All methods in EChart Java supports method chaining
    Bar bar = new Bar()
              .setLegend()
              .setTooltip("item")
              .addXAxis(new String[] { "Matcha Latte", "Milk Tea", "Cheese Cocoa", "Walnut Brownie" })
              .addYAxis()
              .addSeries("2015", new Number[] { 43.3, 83.1, 86.4, 72.4 })
              .addSeries("2016", new Number[] { 85.8, 73.4, 65.2, 53.9 })
              .addSeries("2017", new Number[] { 93.7, 55.1, 82.5, 39.1 });
    Engine engine = new Engine();
    // The render method will generate our EChart into a HTML file saved locally in the current directory.
    // The name of the HTML can also be set by the first parameter of the function.
    engine.render("index.html", bar);
}

Generate Option Object and its JSON Representation

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Line lineChart = new Line()
                .addXAxis(new CategoryAxis()
                        .setData(new String[] { "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun" })
                        .setBoundaryGap(false))
                .addYAxis()
                .addSeries(new LineSeries()
                        .setData(new Number[] { 820, 932, 901, 934, 1290, 1330, 1320 })
                        .setAreaStyle(new LineAreaStyle()));
    Engine engine = new Engine();
    // It is recommended that you can  get the serialized version of Option in the representation of JSON, which can be used directly in the template or in the RESTful APIs.
    String jsonStr = engine.renderJsonOption(lineChart);
}

The output JSON object will be like the following,

{
  "xAxis": [
    {
      "type": "category",
      "data": ["Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"],
      "boundaryGap": false
    }
  ],
  "yAxis": [{ "type": "value" }],
  "series": [
    {
      "type": "line",
      "data": [820, 932, 901, 934, 1290, 1330, 1320],
      "areaStyle": {}
    }
  ]
}

Integrate with Spring Web Application
