This interactive bar chart displays the top 10 most populous countries using data loaded from a CSV file. The visualization uses React to render SVG marks, with D3’s `scaleBand` and `scaleLinear` mapping countries to horizontal bars and population values to their lengths. Grid lines, tick labels, and axis text are generated manually via D3 scales, while React’s `useEffect` and `useState` handle asynchronous data fetching and state management.
