Alternative to Jtable plugin?

Question

The jtable that could be found here http://jtable.org is already a best one for me. But they said that it becomes slow when handling lots of data.

So is there an alternative for this that also has the same CRUD functionality and could handle multiple data without sacrificing the speed?

Answer 1

I have used DataTables (https://datatables.net) and I can say it's working pretty good and easy to customize/extend the functionalities.

Answer 2

Speed becomes an issue normally when your record set is very large in IE. If this is the case for you it is normally the size of the page, as IE doesn't handle large DOM's very well.

To solve this problem you should look into switching to server side paging and sorting.

Paging and Sorting in jTable Server Side

For other alternatives to jTable:

DataTables
jqGrid

Both of these alternatives support Server Side Paging, Sorting, and Searching.

But it is a common issue that IE runs slower on these Table libraries with large Result Sets.

This answer is an expansion of my earlier comment.
