When you're learning to visualize data it can be a struggle to find clean data sets.This small collection is to help get started.
Each set lives in it's own directory with at least a YAML file and a .csv or .tsv file or sometimes a .json file.
The focus is on collecting simple tabular data sets for use with D3, also some geographic shapes.
d3.csv('my-data-file.csv')
.then((data)=>{
console.log('your data is now available as an array of objects, one for each row of the CSV...');
console.log(data);
})
I'm using some conventions for fields in the YAML file hopefully they're pretty self explanatory.
Source, and title are pretty important

More data sets sought and welcomed! If you have any data sets you think would fit here you can either fork this repository and make a pull request or if that doesn't make any sense you can get in contact either via this site or tweet at me
