## What it is
jqGrid is an Ajax-enabled jQuery plugin for representing and manipulating tabular data on the web. It is a client-side grid solution that loads data dynamically via Ajax and integrates with any server-side technology.

## Use cases
- render sortable paginated data tables in the browser
- load grid data from a server via ajax  or xml
- build pivot tables from tabular data
- display hierarchical data with treegrid or subgrid
- export grid data to excel
- freeze columns in a wide data table

## When to choose
- you are already using jQuery and need a feature-rich data grid
- you need pivot tables, subgrids, or treegrids in a legacy web app
- you want a client-side grid that works with any backend technology

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern framework app with React, Vue, or Angular
- you need a license-free dependency since the project has no open-source license file
- you want a lightweight table without jQuery dependencies
