This area chart visualizes world population by year up to 2015, with a smooth curved line and filled region emphasizing growth trends. The SVG rendering uses D3 v5’s `scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`, and `area` generator with `curveBasis` to create the path. Axis labels and ticks are added via `axisBottom` and `axisLeft`, with population values formatted in billions. Data loads from a CSV file using D3’s `csv` method, parsing years as dates and populations as numbers before rendering.
