DataTables is a table-enhancing plug-in for jQuery that adds sorting, paging, filtering, and scrolling to plain HTML tables with minimal configuration. This repository is the legacy distribution repo; active development happens in DataTables/DataTablesSrc and the Dist-* package repos.
Use cases
- add sorting and pagination to an HTML table
- add instant search/filter to a data table
- make large HTML tables scrollable and mobile friendly
- build an editable data grid in a web app
- internationalize table UI text
- integrate advanced tables with Bootstrap styling
- load table data from JSON via Ajax
When to choose
- you need feature-rich interactive HTML tables with minimal effort
- you want a mature, MIT-licensed library with extensive docs and extensions
- you use jQuery or want styling integrations with Bootstrap/Bulma/Semantic UI
- you need React or Vue table integrations
When to avoid
- you want to contribute to or track source code - use DataTables/DataTablesSrc instead
- you need a virtualized grid for millions of rows or spreadsheet-like features
- you want a fully dependency-free modern setup without the legacy jQuery-era repo
