Which is the best datagrid?#

Choosing the best datagrid for your application isn't a one-size-fits-all decision. Several factors need to be considered:

Performance & Environment#

  • How much data are you handling? 10k+, 100k+ or 1 million+ rows?
  • Is real-time updating important?
  • Do you need mobile support?
  • What JavaScript library or framework are you using?

Features#

  • Do you need sorting, filtering, and grouping?
  • Are advanced features like pivoting or tree data required? Do you need server-side support for these or is this handled in the browser?
  • What about cell/row editing, validation and persistence?
  • How about accessibility? Is the grid accessible to users with some disabilities?

Developer Experience#

  • What's the learning curve?
  • How good is the documentation?
  • Is the API intuitive and flexible?
  • Does it feel native to your library/framework of choice?

Community and Support#

  • Is it actively maintained?
  • How large is the community?
  • Are there enterprise support options?
The "best" datagrid ultimately depends on your specific requirements, budget, and use case. Popular options like AG Grid, Infinite Table, TanStack Table, and Material-UI's DataGrid each excel in different areas.
In future posts, we'll dive deeper into comparing these solutions and helping you make the right choice for your project.
