## What it is
Tabletop.js is a zero-dependency JavaScript library that fetches data from published Google Spreadsheets and exposes it as JSON. The project is deprecated: Google shut down the infrastructure it relied on, and the README directs users to Papa Parse instead.

## Use cases
- read a google spreadsheet as json in javascript
- use a spreadsheet as a simple cms backend
- fetch sheet data for a static site without a server
- turn google sheets into a json api for prototypes
- load spreadsheet data into a templating system

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - the underlying Google infrastructure is gone
- you need reliable access to spreadsheet data today
- your spreadsheet is on an organizational Google account

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-client, json, csv
- domain: web-development, spreadsheets
- platform: browser
- tags: google-sheets, deprecated, papaparse, data-engineering, javascript
