Loading and Parsing: Forest Fires in Brazil (CS 573 Assignment #2.3)
This visualization loads the Brazilian Forest Fires dataset from a GitHub-hosted CSV file and displays a summary of its size and structure in large red text. It uses D3 v5’s `d3.csv` method to parse the data, then calculates and presents the file size in kilobytes, the total row count, and the number of columns. The example demonstrates both the primary async/await approach with `d3.csv` and includes commented-out alternatives using `fetch` and `d3.csvParse`.
