Sunburst chart is used to display hierarchical data, represented using concentric circles. The circle in the center represents the root node, with the data moving outside from the center. A section of the inner circle supports a hierarchical relationship to those sections of the outer circle which lie within the angular area of the parent section. Sunburst chart can be effectively used in scenarios where you want to display hierarchical data, represented using relationship between outer rings and inner rings.
