## Notes

G2 is a JavaScript visualization library for dashboards, data exploration and storytelling. Its renderer draws to Canvas, SVG or WebGL. The quick start offers two routes: npm or Yarn, and a UMD build loaded from a CDN. AntV publishes it under the MIT license, and the site footer names Ant Group Co., Ltd. as copyright holder.

## Worth knowing

The license names AntV as copyright holder, while the footer names Ant Group Co., Ltd. The English documentation sits under the /en/ path of the site, and the root address opens in Chinese.
