Tag: Data driven documents

D3.js, short for Data-Driven Documents, is a powerful JavaScript library that uses web standards like SVG, HTML, and CSS to bring data to life in web browsers. Unlike simpler charting libraries, D3 gives developers complete control over the visual output, allowing for highly bespoke and unique designs. It provides the building blocks to create almost any type of data visualization imaginable, from basic charts to complex network diagrams and interactive maps.

First released in 2011, the JavaScript library D3.js quickly became a foundational tool for creating bespoke data visualizations on the web. The main function of D3 is to manipulate documents based on data, bringing datasets to life through dynamic HTML, SVG, and CSS.
