If you are looking into ways for prototyping data visualization with D3.js libraries, you have to try RawGraph.

Here’s the website: https://rawgraphs.io/ . The platform is free to use.

3 steps to visualize your data with D3 library!

Step 1: Prepare your data. I Googled “public data free” and came across this blog post: https://www.springboard.com/blog/free-public-data-sets-data-science-project/
From there I found some free Airbnb data at http://insideairbnb.com/get-the-data.html

I downloaded the “12 July, 2019 data of Austin, Texas, United States” file, selected a small sample (host_name, name, neighborhood columns, and only took 38 rows out of each column) then pasted into RawGraph’s “Load your data” form, and stacked the data by “neighborhood”.

Step 2: Choose a chart. Since my data set has hierarchical relationship, I chose circular dendrogram to visualize it.
