                    ] 
                } 
            ] 
        }; 
  
        var obj = d3.hierarchy(tree); 
          
        // Leaf nodes of the above given tree 
        console.log("Leaf nodes are: "); 
        console.log(obj.leaves());         
    </script> 
</body> 
  
</html> 

Output:

Example 2: The following code demonstrates accessing data of leaf nodes.
