How to properly load local json in d3.js?

To properly load a local JSON file in D3.js, you can use the d3.json() function. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

1. Place your JSON file in the same directory as your HTML file or in a sub-directory.
2. In your HTML file, include the D3.js library by adding the following script tag in the head section:

1

<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v7.min.js"></script>

1. In your JavaScript code, use the d3.json() function to load the JSON file. Here is an example code snippet:

d3.json("data.json").then(function(data) {
  // Code to process the loaded JSON data goes here
  console.log(data);
}).catch(function(error) {
  // Handle any errors that occur during loading the JSON file
  console.error(error);
});

In the above code snippet, replace "data.json" with the path to your local JSON file. The d3.json() function returns a promise that resolves with the loaded JSON data. You can then process the data in the callback function.

Remember that loading local files using D3.js may require you to run a local server due to browser security restrictions. You can use tools like live-server or http-server to easily set up a local server for testing.
