A simple animated fruit bowl demonstrates D3's declarative update and object constancy. Five circles, initially apples, transition through a scripted sequence: an apple is removed, one apple turns into a lemon, then another apple is eaten. D3's `select`, `range`, and `scaleOrdinal` manage the SVG circles and text labels, while `data()` and merge operations ensure smooth updates. The example uses D3 v5 and the `fruitBowl` component, drawing on static, hard-coded data.
