d3-force-reuse
A faster version of d3-force's many-body repulsion algorithm that reuses force approximations to speed up graph layouts.
What is d3-force-reuse?
d3-force-reuse is a JavaScript module that accelerates force-directed graph layouts in D3.js. It provides an optimized many-body force algorithm that reuses force approximations, reducing computation time by 10–90% while maintaining layout quality. It solves the performance bottleneck in rendering large interactive network visualizations.
Data visualization developers and researchers using D3.js to create interactive force-directed graphs, especially those working with large datasets where simulation speed is a concern.
Developers choose d3-force-reuse because it offers a significant, measurable performance improvement over the standard D3 force algorithm with no code changes required—it's a drop-in replacement that preserves layout quality, backed by published research.
