What Are the key features of D3.js?
1.      Data Driven
2.      DOM Manipulation
3.      Interaction and animation
4.      Custom Visualizations - Pie chart, graphs, bar charts or geospatial maps
5.      Transitions

How D3.js identify on which elements to operate?
D3.js uses CSS Style selectors is used to identify the elements on which to operate. The example looks 

like -
d3.selectAll("span").style("color", "red");


What about the selections in D3.js?

The selector methods-
1.      select() – It is used to selects the HTML element based on CSS Selectors.
2.      selectAll() -  It is used to select multiple elements from HTML DOM.
3.      append()
4.      html()
5.      text()
6.      attr()
7.      style() and
8.      classed()

The Example looks like –
d3.select("body");
//OR
d3.select(".d3Test").style("color", "red");
//AND
d3.selectAll(".d3Test").attr("style", "color: red");
//OR
d3.selectAll("tr").selectAll("td").selectAll("span");

2.      Slider with start value

7.      Vertical slider

What about “Enter()” and “Exit()” selection in D3.js?
The Enter identifies any DOM elements that need to be added when the joined array is longer than the selection.

The Example looks like -
d3.select('#content').selectAll('div').data(myData).enter();


The Exit returns an exit selection which consists of the elements that need to be removed from the DOM.

The Example looks like -
d3.select('#content').selectAll('div').data(myData).exit().remove();


The Enter selection is used for create new nodes for incoming data and the Exit selection is used for eliminate outgoing nodes that is no longer required.

The Detail Example looks like –

d3.select("body")
  .selectAll("p")
  .data([6, 18, 14, 15, 22, 41])
  .enter().append("p")
    .text(function(t) { return "I’m number -" + t + "."; });


How to handle Events in D3.js?
The D3.js supports built-in events and you can also create custom events. You are also bind event listener to DOM element by using the method - d3.selection.on ().

The Example looks like -
d3.selection.on(type[, listener[, capture]]);


The List of event handling methods –
1.      selection.on()
2.      d3.mouse(container)
3.      selection.dispatch()
4.       d3.event
5.      d3.touch()

For Example –
d3.selectAll("div")
  .on("mouseover", function(){
      d3.select(this).style("color", "red");

      console.log(d3.event); //current event info   
      console.log(d3.mouse(this));  //x & y co-ordinates
  })
  .on("mouseout", function(){
      d3.select(this).style("color", "steelblue")
  });


How to Data Binding work in D3.js?
The D3.js is data driven and the data () function is used to join the specified array object of data to the selected DOM elements and return updated selection.

The data binding methods –
1.      data() function – This function Joins the data to the selected elements
2.      enter() function- This functions is used to creates a selection with placeholder references for missing elements
3.      exit() function – This functions is used to removes nodes and adds them to the exit selection which can be later removed from the DOM
4.      datum() function – This functions is used to injects data to the selected element without computing a join

The Example looks like –
var dataArray = ["Hello,  Ths is data array!"];
    
var selectData = d3.select("body").selectAll("p").data(dataArray)
      .text(function (dt) {   
    return dt;
