This example displays the top five most populous countries as a rudimentary bar chart with no axes or labels. The visualization uses React to render an SVG, with React hooks managing state and data loading. The code leverages D3 v5's `scaleBand` for the categorical y-axis positioning and `scaleLinear` for the quantitative x-axis scaling, pulling data from the United Nations World Population Prospects 2019 dataset. Bars are drawn as SVG `<rect>` elements, positioned using the computed scales.
