You probably use a framework or standalone library to load data into your apps, but what if that’s overkill for your needs? What if you’re just putting together a quick demo? This lesson demonstrates D3’s APIs for loading data on its own, as well as some helpful methods for inspecting your data and preparing it for use with D3.

With d3 v5 you load json with promise:

d3.json("data.json").then(function (data) {
    var extent = d3.extent(data, function (d) {
	return d.age
    })
    console.log("extent", extent)
    
    let scale = d3.scaleLinear()
        .domain(extent)
        .range([0, 600])
    console.log(scale(22))
})

How's the d3 set different from the native JavaScript set?

As of 2020 d3.set is now deprecated.
