D3 (or D3.js) is a free, open-source JavaScript library for visualizing data. Its low-level approach built on web standards offers unparalleled flexibility in authoring dynamic, data-driven graphics. For more than a decade D3 has powered groundbreaking and award-winning visualizations, become a foundational building block of higher-level chart libraries, and fostered a vibrant community of data practitioners around the world. D3 “slingshotted the field into growth, diversification and creativity that has been unprecedented” and “changed how millions of data visualizations are created across newsrooms, websites, and personal portfolios,” remarked the Information is Beautiful 2022 Test of Time Award. The IEEE VIS 2021 Test of Time Award noted, “By creating a framework that was compelling and easy for web developers to use to author interactive visualizations, the authors have undeniably helped to bring data visualization to the mainstream. [D3] is a cornerstone contribution to this conference specifically and more generally to the success of our field as a whole.” D3 was created by Mike Bostock in 2011. Mike co-authored the D3 paper with Jeff Heer and Vadim Ogievetsky at Stanford. Jason Davies made major contributions to D3 from 2011 to 2013, most notably to D3’s geographic projection system. Philippe Rivière has been a major contributor to D3 and its documentation since 2016. Over the years, countless kind individuals have contributed to D3 by sharing code and ideas, by teaching and answering questions, and by bringing people together to further the practice of visualization. Mike and Philippe now maintain D3 and Observable Plot at Observable. * * * Seller [Observable](https://www.g2.com/sellers/observable) Discussions [D3.js Community](https://www.g2.com/products/observable-d3-js/discuss) Overview by Tom Barnes Show More ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Chart.Js](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Chart.Js") Chart.Js 4.4/5(124) ](https://www.g2.com/products/chart-js/reviews) [ ![Essential Studio](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Essential Studio") Essential Studio 4.5/5(797) ](https://www.g2.com/products/essential-studio/reviews) [ ![Progress Kendo UI](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Progress Kendo UI") Progress Kendo UI 4.4/5(257) ](https://www.g2.com/products/progress-kendo-ui/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/observable-d3-js/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 19 real user reviews.

The D3js library of javascripts is extensive. Anyone can create a customizable data visualization that can be shared with anyone who has a web browser. It's got all sorts of solutions to make your data come alive and be interactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about D3.js? For any user who does not have a strong programming background, the learning curve is really steep in my opinion. To get really good at using this library, it will take an extensive amount of time and effort to learn and practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is D3.js solving and how is that benefiting you? I used D3js to create interactive data visualizations that helped senior management better understand the data they were working with and to identify trends and correlations that were not easily uncovered simply by looking at static summary tables.
