Data Visualization Technical Details:
Data visualisation defines data in a graphical form, and it helps the decision makers to
develop a pattern of data. D3.js or Data Driven Documents is a Javascript Library that is used to
develop interactive as well as dynamic data visualisations. D3.js enables users to bind arbitrary
data to a Document Object Model (DOM). D3.js applies data-driven transformations to the
document. A user can generate HTML table from the array of numbers with the assistance D3.js.
D3.js solves the problem’s crux. It provides an effective manipulation of documents by data.
D3.js thus avoids proprietary representation and caters flexibility. One can get the full
functionalities of web standard such as CSS, HTML and SVG. It requires minimal overhead.
Also, D3.js is relatively fast and can support large datasets. D3.js technology supports dynamic
behaviours for animations well as interaction. The functional style of D3 enables the code reuse
through a collection of community-developed modules as well as official modules.
Selections: D3.js can be used as to modify the documents by using the W3C DOM API.
The method names used are verbose. D3.js takes the declarative approach and works on an set of
nodes known as selections. W3C Selectors API defines the selectors, and nearly all the modern
browsers support the selectors. The D3.js elements can be selected utilising the predicates; the
predicates involve ID, containment, attribute values and class.
D3.js caters various methods for the nodes mutation. D3.js is used to set attributes or
styles. The D3.js is useful to register event listeners. D3.js can prove to be useful for adding and
removing nodes. The nodes can also be sorted with the help of D3.js. The text content, as well as
the HTML code, can be changed with the help of D3.js.
