Porting D3.js to Kotlin Multiplatform
summary
D3.js is ported to Kotlin Multiplatform as a canvas-based library with JS JavaFX and Android renderers, 40,000 lines of library code and 12,000 lines of tests, and 95% common code across platforms. Platform gaps are handled by common data model renderers and small platform adapters; rendering tests use Puppeteer screenshots and pixel diffs to catch anti‑aliasing differences. Version 0.7 ships Android support, a high‑level charting DSL sits on top, and iOS and an event API are planned.
