D3 is a great tool for generating maps. To do so, we use specially formatted JSON data to generate <path> SVG elements. This specially formatted JSON data is called GeoJSON, and in this chapter, we'll use it to create a map of the world.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Creating a map
- Defining GeoJSON
- Using a projection
- Generating a <path> using a projection and GeoJSON data
