Slickgrid's peers can be counted on one hand. Fewer grids support good editing features. Trying to fit all of that into the grid implementation and API will only limit its applicability and add considerable bloat. What I’m saying, is that dealing with data is best left to the developer using the grid control.

Editing one property of an element can lead to cascading changes modifying other properties or even other elements. It’s great if all you want to do is “spruce up” an HTML TABLE or slap a front end onto a simple list, but too inflexible for anything else.ĭata is complicated. The key difference is between SlickGrid and other grid implementations I have seen is that they focus too much on being able to understand and work with data (search, sort, parse, ajax load, etc.) and not enough on being a better “grid” (or, in case of editable grids, a spreadsheet). It is best regarded as a toolkit - the foundations are rock solid, but it's likely you will have to make minor tweaks to get it to do exactly what you want. Slickgrid is extremely well architected, modular and easy to customise.

Ag-Grid has a great free feature set, additional paid features and excellent documentation. If you wish to use something more polished with a similar feature set, I'd recommend Ag-Grid. Support is largely self-help, but assistance may be offered on StackOverflow or GitHub by volunteer contributors. While the project is active and stable, it is not polished or comprehensively documented. General support - ask on StackOverflow, tag 'slickgrid' Slickgrid Background, Alternatives and Philosophy Current Issues (bug fixes and feature requests only, please!)
