Loading US GDP Data
This example demonstrates the asynchronous loading and parsing of a CSV file containing US GDP data, displaying the resulting data structure as JSON in a `<pre>` element. Initially showing "LOADING" and then the parsed array of objects, it fetches the dataset from a Gist URL, uses `d3.csvParse` to parse the CSV, and converts numeric fields like `date`, `level_current`, and `change_chained` to numbers. The visualization relies on the `d3` library for DOM selection and CSV parsing, with the data structured according to the BEA-sourced fields from datahub.io.
