## What it is
NVD3 is a reusable charting library built on top of d3.js, providing ready-made chart components like pie, line, bar, boxplot, candlestick, sunburst, and force-directed graphs. It wraps D3's low-level API in reusable chart models with sensible defaults, tooltips, and interactive guideline features.

## Use cases
- add interactive charts to a web dashboard
- render line and bar charts with tooltips in the browser
- create pie and donut charts without writing raw D3 code
- visualize data with boxplot or candlestick charts
- build reusable chart components following Mike Bostock's reusable charts pattern

## When to choose
- you want quick, prebuilt D3-based charts with tooltips and interactivity
- your project already uses D3 v3.x
- you need a lightweight JavaScript charting library without heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- your project uses D3 v4.x or later, which NVD3 does not support
- you need actively developed charts with modern framework integrations (React, Vue)
- you need charts beyond WebKit-oriented browser support or IE10-

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, charts
- domain: data-visualization, frontend, web-development
