File Formats

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.
