Loading and Parsing Hans Rosling Population Growth Data
This example demonstrates loading and parsing the Gapminder total population CSV dataset used in Hans Rosling’s animated charts, displaying file size, row count, and column count as large text. It uses D3 v5’s `d3.csv` method to fetch and parse the remote data, then formats the resulting array with `d3.csvFormat` to measure its size. The code also includes commented alternatives using the Fetch API with `async`/`await` and a nested promise chain, showing multiple approaches to asynchronous data loading.
