- danso 13y agoThe OP's description makes it pretty clear. This is a library that seems specifically geared toward those who create SVGs in programs like Illustrator. That it is described as "jQuery for SVGs" should imply that it serves a different need than D3, as one usually does not call or think of D3 as the "jQuery for SVG data visualizations"
- zabraxias 13y agoThe moment we start calling things "the jQuery of..." we're no better than startups that are "the Facebook of..." :)
- geovizer 13y agoAgreed. And, I think it would be helpful (and increase credibility) for the Snap creators to include a comparison with D3.js at http://snapsvg.io/about/ http://snapsvg.io/about/.
- smrtinsert 13y agoThis is a drawing lib, not a data binding lib. d3 is largely rendering agnostic. You wouldn't use them in the same way like you wouldn't compare contrast a car with an engine.
