Introducing Webix Grid — The Standalone, Lightweight, and Powerful JavaScript DataGrid

You asked, and we listened. For years, our mighty Webix Datatable has powered data-heavy apps around the globe, bundled as part of the Webix UI library. But let’s be honest, sometimes all you really need is a great data grid, without all the extra bells and whistles.

Good news: Webix Grid is now available as a standalone data grid component. It’s still fast and flexible, but now you no longer need to bring in the entire Webix UI, making it an even more lightweight solution.

If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “I just want a table, not the whole kitchen sink,” — this one’s for you.

What is Webix Grid?

Webix Grid is a JavaScript component meticulously designed for displaying, sorting, filtering, and editing massive datasets. Whether you’re building a sleek dashboard, a detailed CRM, or a lightning-fast admin panel, Webix Grid delivers exactly the data table you need — and nothing you don’t. We took everything Webix users love about our Datatable — clean, reliable code, lightning-fast data processing, and powerful features — and packed it into a standalone product that’s easy to use whenever your app needs tabular data.

Why Choose Webix Grid?

Here are some reasons why you should consider choosing Webix Grid for your next great business web application:

• Lightweight & Fast: Just a powerful grid that works beautifully and loads data fast.
• Standalone & Simple: Works independently — no need to load Webix Core or any extras. Just write a few lines of code, and you’re up and running. Explore Grid Quick start guide to learn how to build JavaScript datagrid in a few minutes.

When Do You Need a Grid (and Nothing Else)?

A DataGrid is one of the most essential tools when it comes to displaying, managing, and interacting with structured data. It allows you to easily organize, edit, filter, and sort huge datasets right in your web application.

Grids are loved by both developers and end users because they bring order to chaos and give a clear, powerful way to work with data. Below we mentioned a couple of examples when choosing just a grid for your application would be the right decision:

• Building a dashboard or admin panel that requires a flexible, responsive data table.

  For example, an e-commerce admin panel allows managing users, products, orders, or content with quickly search, edit, and delete records without complex navigation.

• Adding a table to an existing app without rewriting everything. 

  No matter what framework your app is built with, the flexible Webix Grid component can be seamlessly integrated without overhauling your entire codebase. It’s an easy way to enhance existing user interfaces with powerful tabular views and interactions — no major refactoring needed.

• Working with large datasets that need real-time filtering, sorting, and pagination.

  Webix Grid is perfect for performance-critical applications, ensuring fast, efficient handling of large data sets with thousands or millions of records without compromising speed or user experience. When dealing with large volumes of data, performance becomes critical.

• Keeping costs low – there’s no need to pay for a full UI suite when all you need is a flexible responsive JavaScript Grid.

  Webix Grid gives you exactly that, without locking you into the UI library, helping you avoid unnecessary licensing fees, especially in budget-conscious projects.

Webix Grid vs. Webix Datatable — What’s the Difference?

Let’s answer the question that likely came to mind as soon as you saw this announcement, and take a look at the comparison table, which will help you determine if the Webix Grid suits your needs better:

So what changes for existing Webix users?

Nothing. If you are already loving and using Webix UI with its DataTable — don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere! Webix Grid is an alternative, not a replacement. Here’s why you can relax:

• Webix DataTable Stays in Core
  The classic DataTable remains fully available in the Webix Core package. No features removed, no surprises.
• Support Won’t Slow Down
  Our technical support team’s initial response time stays the same — up to 24 hours for Priority support or 48 hours for Standard support users.
• Webix Core Pricing Holds Steady
  No price hikes, at least for now. 🙂 You keep all the benefits of the full Webix UI library.
• Webix is here to stay — and Grid is just one of the updates

We know that many of you use Webix for much more than just tables — and that won’t change. We’ll keep working on the library, releasing updates.

TL;DR: If you’re happy with Webix Core, keep using it exactly as you did before. We’re just giving developers and business owners more choices.

Who Is Standalone Webix Grid For?

• Developers who just need a grid, not a full JS UI library & framework like Webix
• Teams building admin panels, dashboards, CRMs
• Projects where performance and simplicity are key
• Enterprises looking for a budget-friendly grid solution for multiple projects
