Vega is built on D3. It's just operating at a higher level. It's like C++ vs Python. You can do anything in C++ you can do in Python, but it may take a lot more

- domoritz 9y agoThis may be a bit confusing but Vega only uses some D3 helpers, it does not generate D3 code at any point. See https://vega.github.io/vega/about/vega-and-d3/ https://vega.github.io/vega/about/vega-and-d3/ for details. But you high-level point is accurate, D3 is more expressive since you can use all of JavaScript.
