Want a simple, clear way to present hierarchical data? Try a d3 Sunburst.

This is a detailed walk-through of a simple-ish d3 Sunburst. I explain a lot of the details about svg, javascript, and d3. Skip what you don’t need. We’ll avoid advanced features today, but end up with a functional sunburst in only 54 lines of code. It lays the groundwork for creating a labeled, interactive, hierarchical visual.
