PourOver is a JavaScript library for fast filtering, sorting, and composing queries over large collections (hundreds of thousands of items) entirely in the browser. It enables data-exploration apps and archives that render query results instantly without database calls.
Use cases
- filter and sort 100,000+ items in the browser at 60fps
- build client-side data exploration apps without a backend
- compose union, intersect, and difference queries over collections
- build searchable archives or interactive newsroom features
- cache and page through large datasets in the browser
When to choose
- you need instant client-side filtering of large datasets without server round-trips
- you want composable, memoized queries that update incrementally as data changes
- you're building a browser-based archive or data-exploration interface
When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with active community support - the original repo is minimally maintained and a community fork exists
- your data lives on a server and you need server-side search or a real search engine
- you need modern ES module tooling - the library depends on Underscore.js and targets legacy browsers
