D3.js is a powerful JavaScript library for creating customized data visualizations. It offers flexibility and can be used with any JavaScript framework. While it provides great customization options, it requires more low-level coding compared to other libraries. However, there are numerous charting libraries that build on D3.js to simplify visualization creation. D3.js allows you to select and manipulate HTML elements, join data to visual elements, and style your visualizations using CSS. Deployment of D3.js projects is straightforward, and you can offload data processing to the backend if needed.
