Sample Datasets

Observable Framework documentation: Sample Datasets Source: https://observablehq.com/framework/sample-datasets

To help you get started, Observable Framework provides a handful of sample datasets by default. If you reference any of these variables (aapl, alphabet, cars, citywages, diamonds, flare, industries, miserables, olympians, penguins, pizza, or weather) in your code, their definition defaults to a Promise loading the corresponding file and returning the data. This makes it easier to get started, with simpler examples of charts and data transformations.

The source data files are downloaded on demand from the @observablehq/sample-datasets npm package, and served from your app’s cache. Note that these names are not “reserved”: you can define alphabet or industries as you see fit, if you need a variable or a function with that name in your app.

The following lists the provenance of each of the sample datasets:
