5 | **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.

15 | ## Installing
|
16 |
|
17 | If you use npm, `npm install d3`. Otherwise, download the [latest release](https://github.com/d3/d3/releases/latest). The released bundle supports anonymous AMD, CommonJS, and vanilla environments. You can load directly from [d3js.org](https://d3js.org), [CDNJS](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/d3), or [unpkg](https://unpkg.com/d3/). For example:
|
18 |
|
19 | ```html
|
20 | <script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v5.js"></script>
|
21 | ```
|
22 |
|
23 | For the minified version:
|
24 |
|
25 | ```html
|
26 | <script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v5.min.js"></script>
|
27 | ```
|
28 |
|
29 | You can also use the standalone D3 microlibraries. For example, [d3-selection](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection):
|
30 |
|
31 | ```html
|
32 | <script src="https://d3js.org/d3-selection.v1.js"></script>
|
33 | ```
|
34 |
|
35 | D3 is written using [ES2015 modules](http://www.2ality.com/2014/09/es6-modules-final.html). Create a [custom bundle using Rollup](https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/bb09af4c39c79cffcde4), Webpack, or your preferred bundler. To import D3 into an ES2015 application, either import specific symbols from specific D3 modules:
|
36 |
|
37 | ```js
|
38 | import {scaleLinear} from "d3-scale";
|
39 | ```
|
40 |
|
41 | Or import everything into a namespace (here, `d3`):
|
42 |
|
43 | ```js
|
44 | import * as d3 from "d3";
|
45 | ```
|
46 |
|
47 | In Node:
|
48 |
|
49 | ```js
|
50 | var d3 = require("d3");
|
51 | ```
|
52 |
|
53 | You can also require individual modules and combine them into a `d3` object using [Object.assign](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/assign):
|
54 |
|
55 | ```js
|
56 | var d3 = Object.assign({}, require("d3-format"), require("d3-geo"), require("d3-geo-projection"));
|
57 | ```
