D3.js Review

PROS: I like that this software comes with a Declarative Approach for individual node manipulation. This functionality matches all web standards. I also like that it uses HTML, Canvas, and SVG. I can also debug the elements using the built-in inspector of the software.

CONS: You need to really master everything before using the tool. Also, when I am dealing with large datasets, it starts to slow down a bit.

PROS: I like that I can easily learn how to visualize my data using this platform. It can be implemented with a little effort, and it comes with the ability to support large datasets. I also get extra support with the samples it offers.

CONS: Although it can handle large datasets, it gets a tad slow sometimes, and this what makes it frustrating.

PROS: I like the visualization capability I get with this app. I can do almost everything in terms of visualizing data. The software is SVG-based that makes it much better compared to canvas.

CONS: I don’t like that D3js isn’t a plug-and-play library. For this reason, learning it can be a bit time-consuming. This isn’t actually a big deal for me, but perhaps a problem for users who don’t have time learning it.

PROS: I like that it uses data-driven documents so I can interactively see a clear picture of all my data. If you have a little background about Javascript and you want to view large datasets, this is the solution you should for you. It comes with a variety of ready-made templates within the app. Easy to use and flexible software that doesn’t require much knowledge about Javascript. Simply import D3js library statement in the code you’re using, and you’re all set. It will take the library automatically whenever you’re online.

CONS: Building it can be time-consuming without the ready-made templates. Also, looking for the most suitable template for your data is hard. It supports Mozilla Firefox browser only. jQuery d3.js should be used as well if you want to unlock advanced features. Debugging functionalities should be done very carefully also. It may process large datasets, but you need to assign them to the canvas cautiously.

PROS: D3js is a solution we used to deal with complex datasets and break them into pieces that makes them more understandable. With this capability, we consequently establish good visualizations so the company will see the current condition of our data.

CONS: If you are new to this software, you may have a problem understanding it. It is open-source software and the support system for learning it is poor.

PROS: With this tool, we are given the ability and flexibility to create and implement charts needed in certain areas of our data.

CONS: The documentation works well. It provides the data that we need to see. It is easy to use! Nothing to dislike about this platform, anyway.
