can someone provide a basic example how to import data from an XML file using d3?

My XML file looks like this:

Answer 1

The XML object that is passed into the callback is the root element of the XML DOM (see https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Requests#wiki-d3_xml ), and therefore you need to process it using the JavaScript XML/DOM access facilities.

I have written a small example that shows how to use d3.xml to create a bar chart (based on the original d3 barchart example http://mbostock.github.com/d3/tutorial/bar-1.html ):
