D3.jsd3js.orgD3.js is a JavaScript library for bespoke data visualization that binds data to the DOM and animates updates without a virtual DOM to create custom, dynamic visualizations. It provides tools to encode data into visual properties using scales and axes, render diverse shapes, support interactive behaviors (pan, zoom, brush, drag), and apply a wide range of layout algorithms and geographic maps, along with data parsing and formatting utilities. D3 is developed by Mike Bostock and Observable, and Observable Plot is a high-level API built on top of D3, offered within the Observable platform for building, sharing, and collaborating on charts, maps, and data apps.
