SvGrid vs React Data Grid (adazzle)

react-data-grid is a strong, lightweight React grid with great editing. SvGrid is the Svelte-5-native equivalent, with a similar feature set and no React dependency.

react-data-grid (the adazzle project) is a focused, performant React grid known for spreadsheet-style editing, virtualization, and a clean column API. It is MIT-licensed and React-only.

SvGrid offers the same shape - virtualized DOM, typed columns, inline editing, custom cells - built on Svelte 5 runes and snippets rather than React components.

Looking for a React Data Grid alternative for Svelte?

react-data-grid is React-only, so this is a port rather than a swap, and the shapes line up well: both are Excel-like, both MIT, both driven by column definitions. Cell renderers become Svelte snippets and hooks become runes. If you are staying on React, there is no reason to move.
