I am trying to create a two line graph with both of the lines using quantitative attributes. Following is an example of the data I have:

```auto
[
    {"TIMESTAMP" : "15/07/2020 13:58", "A" : 61, "B" : 70}, 
    {"TIMESTAMP" : "15/07/2020 13:59", "A" : 51, "B" : 60},
    {"TIMESTAMP" : "15/07/2020 14:00", "A" : 67, "B" : 80}, 
    {"TIMESTAMP" : "15/07/2020 14:01", "A" : 52, "B" : 40}, 
]

```

Now, I want to create a line graph in Vegalite which has two lines plotting A and B on the same y axis. I have found a work around using different symbols but what if we want to plot it from the record as above?

Note: I have gone through [this documentation](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/line.html#documentation-overview) but all the examples use a symbol attribute which tells the category of the feature.

You can do this using layers ([Layering views | Vega-Lite](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/layer.html))

Check out this example:
