D3 (or D3.js) is a JavaScript library for visualizing data using web standards. D3 helps you bring data to life using SVG, Canvas and HTML. D3 combines powerful visualization and interaction techniques with a data-driven approach to DOM manipulation, giving you the full capabilities of modern browsers and the freedom to design the right visual interface for your data.

The master branch currently contains the prerelease of D3 4.0. The 4.0 API is not yet frozen and may change prior to the release. (For the latest stable release, 3.5.17, follow the installation instructions on the wiki.) If you use NPM, npm install d3@next. Otherwise, download the latest release. The released bundle supports AMD, CommonJS, and vanilla environments. Create a custom build using Rollup or your preferred bundler. You can also load directly from d3js.org:
