get datatypes using d3

[tge...@gmail.com]

If my data has many attributes and some of them are numbers, some are strings and some other types of data. Now I want to know which type of data each attribute is, how can I do that?

You can use "typeof" to determine the data types for each property.

This is beyond the scope of D3, but there is another great library called Datalib that does type inference on data table attributes for you. I believe the inferAll function will do what you are looking for.

Thanks! I was just thinking what D3 can do, but forgot what js provides...
