Chapter 14. Server-side Highcharts

The first edition of Learning Highcharts covered a number of approaches to run Highcharts on the server side. Since then, there has been significant development in this area. It turns out that Highcharts adopts PhantomJS (the headless webkit) for the server solution and PhantomJS/Batik for the server implementation in Java. We will also explore how we can create our own Highcharts server process using PhantomJS and how to use the official server-side script released by Highcharts.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

Why we want to run Highcharts on the server side
Why PhantomJS and Batik are adopted by Highcharts
The basics of PhantomJS and Batik
Creating our own PhantomJS script to export charts
How to use the Highcharts server-side script in both command-line and server modes

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
