The bottom line

Glide is the right tool when you have measured a need for canvas-level FPS on hundreds of thousands of visible cells. For everyone else - and especially when accessibility, selectable text, or Svelte matter - the virtualized DOM in SvGrid is the better default.

Frequently asked questions

SvGrid vs Glide Data Grid - which should I use?

Use SvGrid unless you have a measured need for canvas rendering at extreme scale. SvGrid renders accessible DOM and is Svelte-native; Glide is React-only and canvas-based.

Is Glide faster than SvGrid?

At hundreds of thousands of simultaneously visible cells, canvas rendering gives Glide higher peak FPS. For typical datasets the difference is invisible, and SvGrid virtualizes comfortably to 100k+ rows.

Does SvGrid handle accessibility better than Glide?

Yes. SvGrid renders real DOM with WAI-ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, and selectable text; a canvas grid like Glide cannot offer those natively.
