DataTables versus GoogleCharts ?

bastringue

Hello !
All is in the title... I am wondering what is the main difference between the present DataTables library and the one provided by Google in the GoogleCharts API? (or why should I use one rather than the other ?). If there is such a discussion somewhere , I would be glad to read it..Many thanks, Pierre.

I'm presuming you mean the DataTable class that happens to be in the GoogleCharts API? To be honest, its the first time I've come across that class, so I don't have a comparison between the two. Their API looks okay, it looks like more code needs to be loaded and it doesn't have direct Ajax options, but they do overlap a lot.

Probably the best option is to try the two out and see which suits your coding styling and requirements most.
