Data Adapter

Overview

AnyChart JavaScript charting framework supports several ways of setting data. For the information about this see Overview, Data Sets and Supported Data Formats articles - these are things built-in into AnyChart core engine.

Data Adapter is an additional script that can do even more: load CSV, JSON and XML files, load data from HTML Tables and Google Spreadsheets.

Modules

Data Adapter requires adding the Data Adapter module:

<script src="https://cdn.anychart.com/releases/8.13.0/js/anychart-data-adapter.min.js"></script>
