summary
Visualization work requires web standards not plugins and favors D3 with SVG for interactive, mobile-friendly graphics; SVG lives in the DOM so code can change circles, paths and text and it scales for retina. Make graphics responsive SVG via CSS percentages rather than fixed pixels so a desktop chart also fits a narrow phone, but complex maps may need different layouts. For 3D, parse data with D3 then hand data to WebGL/three.js; WebGL is powerful but iOS support lags and 3D often hurts precise perceptual comparisons.
