The JavaScript data grid ecosystem has three serious answers with very different philosophies: <strong>TanStack Table (28,316 stars)</strong> is the headless library that gives you total control over markup in exchange for writing your own DOM, <strong>AG Grid (15,530 stars)</strong> is the batteries-included enterprise grid with 100+ features out of the box, and <strong>Grid.js (4,686 stars)</strong> is the lightweight, framework-agnostic grid that nails the 80% case in a single dependency. Choose wrong and you either re-implement virtualization by hand or drag a 3 MB enterprise bundle into a page that needed 30 rows.</p>
