I haven’t been able to find any discussion or extensions around charting / graphing data – so I’m assuming there isn’t a useful specification on this format in place already.
Has anyone else found anything? Has this been discussed under some other name?
Thanks!
Hi @toobulkeh
What do you mean with “charting / graphing” data? Do you want do draw charts and graphs on your frontend, such as a pie chart and bar graph, or do you want to represent a graph data structure using jsonapi?
Yup, draw charts on the front end. I believe the core of my question is about the efficiency of an ORM type API – and if anyone had run into issues of performance for queries needed for visual charting.
We aggregate a lot of raw data on our backend and can process that into any format that’s consumable by a d3 or highcharts type library – I just couldn’t find any previous work with a JSONapi extension for this use case. We’ll be fine defining it ourselves, but was just looking to see if a shortcut existed.
Thanks!
Unfortunately I don’t know of any shortcuts that exist, but if you do define it yourself, please post what you came up with and why you made the decicions 
it will definitely help the community!
