Overview
Chart Engine is a Flutter/Dart package that provides a unified interface for generating charts using interchangeable backend engines, such as ChartJS and ApexCharts. Designed primarily for web applications, it allows developers to switch between rendering engines seamlessly without changing their chart configuration code. This abstraction simplifies integration with different visualization libraries while maintaining consistent API usage across platforms. The package supports dynamic chart updates and responsive design, making it ideal for data-heavy web dashboards.
