This area chart visualizes world population growth over time, using a smooth filled curve to show the increasing trend. The chart is rendered with D3 v5 in SVG, pulling data from a CSV file of world population by year. The code uses `d3.area()` with a basis curve to generate the path, while `d3.scaleTime` and `d3.scaleLinear` handle the axes. Axis labels and a title are added via SVG text elements, with tick formatting that converts large population values to billions.
