The visualization displays a social network graph where purple nodes represent people, connected by blue arrows indicating friendship relationships. The network uses a force-directed layout powered by d3.forceSimulation, with link forces, charge forces, collision detection, and centering. Nodes are rendered as SVG circles with labels, and can be dragged interactively. Arrow markers are defined in SVG defs, while node highlighting on hover uses CSS classes. The graph loads from a JSON data file containing explicit source and target person names.
