Awesome Vega

📈 Resources leveraging and to leverage the Vega ecosystem.

Vega is a declarative language for describing and creating interactive data visualizations. The description (known by specification) of both the visual appearance and the interactive behaviour of a visualization is done in a JSON format. This way, Vega provides a broad set of building blocks that allows you to plan and build flexible visualizations.
