Babar CLI Bar Charts

Babar is a minimalistic Node.js library, currently at version 0.2.3, designed to render simple bar charts directly in the command line interface using ASCII characters. It provides basic visualizations for quickly understanding data distributions without the need for advanced charting features. The package is lightweight, consisting of approximately 100 lines of code, and offers options for color output, custom dimensions, and axis scaling. Its development appears to be inactive, with the last release nearly a decade ago (published 9 years ago as of April 2026), making it suitable for very basic, quick console output rather than robust data visualization needs. Key differentiators are its extreme simplicity and small footprint, focusing solely on console-based bar chart rendering.
