D3.js looks interesting

D3.js - Data-Driven Documents

I have been seeing the D3.js JavaScript library mentioned on tech sites for some days. Took a look at it today. Seems interesting and useful.

It uses a functional style, at least in parts, which can result in shorter and clearer code, something like the difference between SQL and earlier C-ISAM based approaches to data handling.

D3.js is  an abstraction over the DOM but still gives you access to the underlying HTML, CSS and SVG elements.
