In this chapter, we described the purpose of running Highcharts on the server side and you learned which technology Highcharts has opted to use on a server. You learned the basics of PhantomJS and the role of Batik. You extended your understanding of PhantomJS to create your own server-side script for Highcharts. Besides that, we experimented with how to run the official PhantomJS script released by Highcharts in both single command-line and server mode.
