D3
The JavaScript library for bespoke data visualization
D3 (Data-Driven Documents) is a JavaScript library for creating custom, interactive data visualizations in the browser. It provides tools for binding data to DOM elements and applying data-driven transformations, including scales, axes, shapes, and transitions. Maintained by Observable, D3 is widely used by developers to build highly bespoke charts, maps, and visual data applications.
D3 binds data to DOM elements and applies data-driven transformations using scales, axes, shapes, and transitions to render dynamic visualizations in SVG or Canvas.
