Speaker: Riley Hilliard
Talk Description:
Getting a standard charting library to produce an editorial-quality visualization usually means battling the framework's default opinions and writing messy CSS hacks. OpenChart takes a different approach: it's a headless, framework-agnostic visualization engine. Instead of imperative drawing calls, you describe your chart using a declarative JSON spec.
In this talk, I'll explore OpenChart's editorial-first design, its built-in accessibility features, and why a spec-driven JSON model is uniquely suited for AI agents generating robust charts directly from datasets.
