Data-Driven Documents (D3) is an incredible JavaScript library for displaying external data files like CSV, JSON, or Excel files. D3 creates visually appealing and interactive displays, like a table, pie chart, bar chart, or scatter plot. For location data you can even use D3 to make interactive maps.

Working well with HTML and CSS, D3 has massive functionality when incorporated into a website.

Benefits of D3.js

  1. Interactivity. If you need data updating over each year, D3 updates very simply. Unlike most graphics, which are static, you can also incorporate hover and mouse click effects with visitors to your website.
  2. Functionality. D3 can create anything from axes to a scatter plot to an interactive geographical map using its GeoJSON functionality.
  3. Easy to use. With a little bit of JavaScript experience, D3 is intuitive to understand.

In Beautiful Data Visualization Projects in D3.js for Beginners you'll learn everything you need to create your own visually appealing graphics with code that you can embed into your website. These graphics can vary from a simple pie chart with a few hover effects to a complex scatter plot, to even a complex bubble chart.
