While learning D3 I was surprised that it's a good general system for manipulating DOM. Using SVG is just the prettiest application of it.

- dirtyaura 14y agoD3 is indeed a well-thought-out library for connecting data with DOM. Of Javascript frameworks that I have played with, jQuery and D3 are the only ones that I've truly enjoyed. And although D3 and jQuery have a lot of overlap, it's easy to mix them. We are using both at Fount (http://fount.io http://fount.io, just an early demo at the moment). We use D3 for data displays and jQuery for Ajax and the rest of the UI.
- louischatriot 14y agoExactly. It's so easy in fact, and so amount of SVG you need to learn to build great graphs so small that I almost never rely on a high-level graphing library (e.g. Highcharts) anymore.
