What Hacker News says
6 sourcesI haven't tried using DataGridXL with a file with that many records. There is a chance that the DOM node that is used for scroll-listening grows too large and browsers cannot handle that. I suspect that is where the error comes from.
However, I will add this to our list of issues, see where the error really comes from and where I can improve it (https://github.com/DataGridXL/DataGridXL2/issues/31). For now, I would say 10,000 records max to be sure.
In Show HN: Datagridxl2.js – Fast Excel-like data table libraryHello HN,
I’m Robbert, the creator of DataGridXL.js. After 1,5 years of hard work I have just released version 2.
DataGridXL is a free (and commercial) editable data table library written in ES6.
My goal is to develop the most performant & user-friendly spreadsheet-like data table out there:
- It has zero dependencies. You don’t need any framework to use DataGridXL.
- It is lightweight (~250kb) and easy to use. It does not even require messing with CSS.
- It has its own Virtual DOM implementation to prevent DOM errors.
- Developer friendly. Supports all modern web browsers
Please take a look at the performance demo (https://www.datagridxl.com/demos/one-million-cells) to see the difference with other data grids out there. And let us know if you have any suggestions.
What's new in version 2:
* Rapidly search cells via top bar, just like Goo
Read the rest
gle Sheets.
* Freeze any amount of rows and/or columns.
* Hide and unhide rows and/or columns, just like in Google Sheets.
* Multi-Range Selection
* Fullscreen Mode
* Input bar at the bottom, so it works on touch devices too.

New features since version 1:
- Multi-Range Selection
- Freeze and Unfreeze rows & columns
- Hide and Show rows & columns
- Rapidly search cells
- Fullscreen Mode
- Works with Touch (new bottom bar enables editing data on touch devices)
- Dark Theme
- Quick Column Sorting
