D3 API Reference

D3 is a collection of modules that are designed to work together; you can use the modules independently, or you can use them together as part of the default build. The source and documentation for each module is available in its repository. Follow the links below to learn more. For changes between major versions, see CHANGES; see also the release notes and the 3.x reference.

D3 uses semantic versioning. The current version is exposed as d3.version.
