• created frontend-viz-by-job ← what-are-the-best-frontend-visualization-libraries, frontend-viz-job-split, visualization-grammar, batteries-included-chart-library, react-visualization-layer, frontend-chart-accessibility. Sentence test: a reader who already has frontend-after-agents still needs a separate page because that piece is about what the frontend job becomes after coding agents, not which chart, map, or network library is strongest for which visualization job. Encyclopedia is not a source.

Seed ingest from /autoresearch on best frontend visualization libraries (charts, graphs, maps, canvases; official docs). Wiki had only the open question page before this ingest.

Created entities:

• d3 (entity): not a chart library; official sister is Plot.
• observable-plot (entity): exploratory grammar on D3; less expressive than D3.
• vega-lite (entity): JSON grammar; compiles to Vega; v6.4.3.
• apache-echarts (entity): 20+ types; 10M-point realtime claim.
• chart-js (entity): 8 Canvas types; AT-blind canvas.
• highcharts (entity): 366 USD/seat Core; Internal/SaaS/OEM; WCAG 2.2 module.
• plotly-js (entity): MIT; statistical/3D/map/finance catalog.
• visx (entity): D3 math + React DOM; MIT; React 18/19.
• recharts (entity): React SVG + D3 submodules; v3.10.1.
• nivo (entity): D3 + React component catalog.
• deck-gl (entity): GPU layers; luma.gl not Three.js.
• cytoscape-js (entity): network viz + analysis; MIT.

Created concepts:

• frontend-viz-job-split (concept): charts vs maps vs networks; no winner.
• visualization-grammar (concept): Plot / Vega-Lite.
• batteries-included-chart-library (concept): Chart.js / ECharts / Highcharts / Plotly.js.
• react-visualization-layer (concept): visx vs Recharts / nivo.
• frontend-chart-accessibility (concept): Highcharts module vs Chart.js canvas.

Updated questions:

• what-are-the-best-frontend-visualization-libraries (question, still open): jobs compared; sources do not crown a winner.

Updated index (index): added all new pages and the source.

Thread frontend-visualization-libraries scaffolded via /thread-create.

• Scope: Research-only comparison of frontend visualization libraries (charts, graphs, maps, canvases). Which libraries are strongest for which jobs in 2026, with cited tradeoffs. Not a product, not a pick-a-stack-and-build.
