This example demonstrates the initial step of loading and parsing CSV data from an external URL, logging the number of parsed rows to the browser console. It uses a custom `fetchText` async function to retrieve the raw text, then calls `d3.csvParse` from D3 v7 to convert the comma-separated content into an array of objects. The data source is a GitHub-hosted CSS named colors dataset, and no visual output is rendered—only the parsed record count appears in the console.
