SlickGrid VS HANDSONTABLE

If anyone is looking for a great open source table, I recommend slick grid: https://github.com/6pac/SlickGrid it has all the features shown in the article and has proven itself capable of everything I've needed for the last 2+ years.

Leaving it unmaintained allows for a fork to emerge.

For example, "SlickGrid" https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid was popular but hadn't seen an update in many years. Someone else forked and a number of people migrated over to https://github.com/6pac/SlickGrid .

In a world where the original author instead decides to relicense and commercialize, the author suddenly has a different and much more contentious relationship with anyone who tries to keep a community fork.

Handsontable is primarily known as a JavaScript grid library for business apps but the decision to include it in this article is not accidental. Although this tool doesn't offer as many text formatting options as Excel, it includes quite a lot of features for manipulating data typical of spreadsheets. The list of the most widely used Handsontable features includes operations on rows & columns (moving, hiding, resizing, freezing), CRUD actions, non-contiguous selection, data validation, export to file, and merging cells. You can also take advantage of more advanced capabilities such as multi-column sorting, data summaries, trimming rows, and nested headers.
