Charting API for Asp.net MVC 3 & Jquery

Question

I am looking for a good, free charting api that looks visually appealing and has lots of charts to choose from.

I am using asp.net mvc 3 and jquery so I am intending to use ajax.

I been looking at some of the posts on stack here about mvc and the MS charting control but I am still unclear if it works well with ajax or if your like using a webform page.

Answer 1

Take a look at Highcharts. Its purely JavaScript based and highly integrated with jQuery.
