from the ground up to support
powerful, interactive visualizations. Define Using XML
DSPL
https://developers.google.com/public-data/docs/tutorial

6. Why Alternative
• Google Public Data Explorer is an excellent
Tool to visualize Data
• But if you want to build an application where
– You need to use HighCharts & Bing Maps or your
own custom visualizations
(I mean Apart from Google Visualization Charts)
– Data is Dynamically Changing
– Have more control of the visualizations

7. The Alternative Solution
Why not use the power of DSPL ?
+
Build a custom Framework to Handle
DSPL & Bind Visualizations
+
Enabling Extension for Customizations

8. The Alternative Solution (JS Framework)
Add Your Custom Visualizations
Web Browser
Your Server
JS Framework Binds
Data + Visualizations
Using DSPL
Referred Data Source At Client Side
