This area chart displays the daily closing price of the S&P 500 index over time, using a filled region beneath a line to emphasize the magnitude of price changes. The visualization is built with Vega-Lite, specifying an area mark in a JSON specification loaded by `vegaEmbed` from `area.vl.json`. The data is fetched from a remote CSV file containing `date` and `price` fields, mapped to the temporal x-axis and quantitative y-axis, respectively. The chart is rendered inside an HTML page using the vega and vega-lite JavaScript libraries.
