About
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.
Problem
Developers need a powerful, flexible library to create bespoke, interactive data visualizations in the browser without being constrained by opinionated chart libraries.
