By arranging nested categories into concentric rings, sunburst charts allow users to explore <em>multi-level structural proportions, parent-child relationships, and distribution paths<\/em> in a compact space\u2014such as global product categories, organizational charts, or multi-step user drop-off paths.<\/p>\n<h2>The Mechanics of Sunburst Charts<\/h2>\n<p>In Apache ECharts, sunburst charts use <code>type: 'sunburst'<\/code>. Similar to treemaps, the series expects a nested tree structure in the <code>data<\/code> array where parent objects contain <code>children<\/code> arrays. The engine renders the root node or top-level categories in the innermost circle and expands sub-categories outward across concentric ring layers.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Essential Setup<\/h3>\n<p>To construct a basic sunburst chart, supply a nested tree dataset and set <code>type: 'sunburst'<\/code> inside your series object:<\/p>\n            <div
