D3.js in Action

More about the book

D3.js is a JavaScript library that allows data to be represented graphically. D3 allows you to create scalable graphs for any modern browser. You start with a structure, dataset, or algorithm and programmatically generate static, interactive, or animated images that responsively scale to any screen. D3.js in Action, Second Edition is completely revised and updated for D3 v4 and ES6. It's a practical tutorial for creating interactive graphics and data-driven applications using D3. It includes instructions on how to use D3 modules with npm, as well as how to integrate D3 with modern MVC frameworks like React.js. You'll start with in-depth explanations of D3's out-of-the-box layouts, along with dozens of real-world use cases that align with different types of visualizations. Then, you'll explore techniques for content creation, animation, and representing dynamic data—including interactive graphics and data streamed live over the web. The final chapters show you how to use more complex D3 functionality to improve performance and build a complete web application. By the end, you'll be ready to integrate D3.js into your web development process and add data visualization to transform any site or internal application.
