D3Js

When to Use This Skill

Use D3.js when you need:

• Complete customization - Every aspect of the visualization controlled
• Complex interactions - Advanced user interactions and transitions
• Unique visualizations - Bespoke charts not available in other libraries
• Data-driven DOM manipulation - Direct binding of data to DOM elements
• Custom animations - Sophisticated transitions and effects

Avoid when:

• Simple charts with default styling are sufficient (use Chart.js)
• Quick implementation is priority (use Plotly or Chart.js)
• Team lacks JavaScript expertise
