This example demonstrates how to load and parse CSV data using D3 v7’s `d3.csv` method, fetching a dataset of CSS named colors from a GitHub gist. The code asynchronously retrieves the CSV file and logs the total number of rows to the console, with a commented-out alternative using the Fetch API’s `response.text()` for comparison. The visualization itself does not render any graphical output; instead, it focuses solely on the data-loading and parsing workflow within a plain HTML page using a React-free setup.
