File Formats for Loading Data in CanvasXpress

CanvasXpress not only lets you create data visualizations in the JSON format, but it also allows you to load other data formats, including XML, PNG, and tab-delimited (CSV, TSV).

Create these visualization formats programmatically or by dragging and dropping them into the CanvasXpress visualization.

Below is an example showing a visualization of a CSV file dataset. See the parameters in the JSON below.
