Crossfilter is a JavaScript library for fast n-dimensional filtering and grouping of large multivariate datasets, designed for interactive exploration in the browser. It uses sorted indexes and incremental filtering to support sub-30ms interaction with coordinated views even on datasets with a million or more records.

Use cases

• filter a million-record dataset interactively in the browser
• build coordinated dashboards with linked charts
• compute live histograms and top-K lists over multivariate data
• power dc.js dimensional charting visualizations
• incrementally filter and group records by multiple dimensions

When to choose

• you need fast client-side multidimensional filtering for coordinated D3/dc.js views
• your dataset fits in browser memory and needs sub-30ms interaction
• you want incremental filtering and grouping without recomputing from scratch

When to avoid

• you need server-side or out-of-core analytics on datasets too large for the browser
• you need a project with active maintenance - maintainers are being sought
• you need a full charting library rather than a filtering/grouping engine
