SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
In most cases, you can choose from a wide range of JavaScript charting libraries to handle interactive data visualization on the web. Each has pros and cons, so which one to pick always depends on exactly what, where, and how you want. The basic approach is quite similar for all, though. In this tutorial, for illustration, we will be using a JS charting library called AnyChart. It has connector maps among the supported chart types, a detailed documentation, and a free version.
We need the Core and Geo Map modules to take care of data visualization in the form of a connector map, geodata for a world map, and the Proj4js library to take care of geographic coordinates.
