What problem does it solve?

Vega and Vega-Lite specs turn your raw numeric and categorical data into clear, reusable visualizations so you can explore trends and communicate results without manual chart tinkering.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Declarative Vega-Lite chart authoring: Build bar, line, scatter, area, heatmap, and many more statistical visualizations from an array of records.
  • Programmatic Vega control: Use Vega for advanced layouts and custom visuals such as radar charts and word clouds.
  • Robust spec validation guidance: Apply required Vega-Lite syntax rules like including the correct schema, producing valid JSON, matching field names case-sensitively, and using supported data types.

Quick Start

Create a Vega-Lite chart by structuring your data as an array of objects, selecting an appropriate mark (bar, line, point, area, rect, or arc), mapping fields to encodings (x, y, color, size), and wrapping the resulting spec in a vega-lite code block while including the required $schema.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create data visualizations from structured JSON records?

You can generate data visualizations from structured JSON records by declaring a Vega-Lite or Vega chart specification, mapping your data fields to visual encodings like x, y, and color to produce statistical charts.

What is the difference between Vega and Vega-Lite for chart generation?

Vega-Lite is best for standard statistical charts like bar, line, and scatter plots, while Vega provides programmatic control for advanced layouts and custom visuals like radar charts and word clouds.

How do I map data fields to visual encodings in a Vega-Lite specification?

To map data fields to visual encodings in a Vega-Lite specification, select a mark type like bar or point, then assign your data fields to encoding channels such as x, y, color, and size within the JSON schema.

Why does my Vega chart specification fail to render?

Your Vega chart specification likely fails to render due to invalid JSON syntax, incorrect $schema declaration, case-sensitive field name mismatches, or unsupported data types in the encoding channels.

Can I build heatmap and dual-axis compositions using Vega-Lite?

Yes, you can build heatmap and dual-axis compositions using Vega-Lite by applying the correct mark types like rect and mapping your data fields to the appropriate encoding channels within the JSON specification.
