The goal of the project is to create the complete family tree for the Rurik dynasty (Rurikids) who ruled the lands of Rus from 862 until 1598. This family tree currently contains 837 nodes.
The animation is in Russian but it is translated on the actual web page lisakov.com/en/projects/tree.
Konstantin Malanchev: lead programmer, a very good man;

The D3.js collapsible tree template is used.
The file source.data contains the list of the dynasty members. One tab (4 spaces) corresponds to the 1st generation, 2 tabs (8 spaces) to the 2nd generation, etc.
json_gen.py reads source.data file and produce tree.json which is used by dndTree.js.
