D3

The JavaScript library for bespoke data visualization

Create custom dynamic visualizations with unparalleled flexibility

Selections and transitions

Create, update, and animate the DOM based on data without the overhead of a virtual DOM.

Scales and axes

Encode abstract data into visual values such as position, size, and color. Explain position encodings with axes.

Shapes

Render arcs, areas, curves, lines, links, pies, stacks, symbols… and any geometric primitive you might need to visualize data.

Interactions

Facilitate exploration with reusable interactive behaviors, including panning, zooming, brushing, and dragging.

Layouts

Treemaps, trees, force-directed graphs, Voronoi, contours, chords, circle-packing… a library of layout algorithms at the ready.

Geographic maps

More spherical projections than you can shake a stick at, with arbitrary aspects, adaptive sampling, and flexible clipping.

… and much more!

CSV parsing, localized date parsing and formatting, color spaces, calendar math, statistics, and can I stop listing features now?
