This word cloud uses D3’s `d3.layout.cloud` to position words by frequency, with font size scaled by each term’s count. The layout runs inside a force simulation, and the rendering draws the words onto an SVG canvas using `d3.select` and `text` elements. The visualization reads a local JSON dataset of words and counts, then animates the cloud’s appearance with a smooth rotation and fade-in transition. Colors are applied from a categorical palette to differentiate word groups, while the overall layout adapts to the container’s size.
