D3 allows you to bind arbitrary data to a Document Object Model (DOM), and then apply data-driven transformations to the document. D3 is not a monolithic framework that seeks to provide every conceivable feature. Instead, D3 solves the crux of the problem: efficient manipulation of documents based on data. This avoids proprietary representation and affords extraordinary flexibility, exposing the full capabilities of web standards such as HTML, SVG, and CSS.
As of November 2024, the mindshare of D3.js in the Software Components category
stands at 3.5%, down
from 8.1% compared to the previous year, according to calculations based on PeerSpot user engagement data.
