Google Introduces Powerful Visualizations for your server-side data

Google has announced the introduction of some powerful visualizations for your server-side data. They have publicly documented the Google Visualization API's open-wire protocol (you can go to the documentation here). The API has been greatly expanded from when it first launched and can now expose server-side data, such as SQL databases and even Excel spreadsheets, and display this data through visualizations from their growing directory.

Below is an excerpt from the post.

To make it even easier for developers to get started, we have documented an open-source Python library that enables any Python developer to quickly start using the API. What we find particularly cool about this library is that it also runs on Google's AppEngine. You don't even need to be an owner of your own servers to expose your data: You can place it on AppEngine and use the Visualization API to expose your data in meaningful, insightful ways in dashboards and reports. Expect to see additional server-side tools for the Visualization API in the near future.
