Migrating from Syncfusion Grid
Syncfusion Grid is a comprehensive commercial grid across JavaScript, React, Vue, Angular, and Blazor, with a free community license for qualifying small teams. Moving to SvGrid trades the multi-framework suite for a Svelte-5-native grid with an unconditional MIT core.
Estimated effort: 3-6 hours per grid.
Syncfusion's option names vary across its framework flavours; map your version's columns and events onto the SvGrid equivalents below.

Shape of the change
- <ejs-grid [dataSource]="rows" [allowSorting]="true" [allowFiltering]="true"
- [allowPaging]="true" [editSettings]="{ allowEditing: true }">
- <e-columns>
- <e-column field="name" headerText="Name"></e-column>
- <e-column field="amount" headerText="Amount" format="C2"></e-column>
- </e-columns>
- </ejs-grid>

+ { field: 'amount', header: 'Amount', format: { type: 'currency', currency: 'USD' } },

Why teams switch
- Svelte 5 native instead of a multi-framework commercial suite.
- Unconditional MIT core - no revenue / headcount threshold like the Syncfusion community license.
- Optional Pro pack for export / import / pivot / AI.
What to weigh
- Syncfusion ships one of the largest feature sets and suites available, plus Blazor support. If you need that breadth or Blazor, weigh it against the Svelte-native fit.

Frequently asked questions
Is SvGrid free, unlike the Syncfusion commercial license?
sv-grid-community is MIT - free for everyone, with no revenue or team-size
conditions. Syncfusion's community license is free only for qualifying small
teams; otherwise it is commercial.
How do Syncfusion columns map to SvGrid?
field stays field, headerText becomes header, and template becomes a
renderSnippet cell. Sorting / filtering / grouping move to registered
features.
Does SvGrid support Blazor?
No - SvGrid is Svelte 5 only. If you need Blazor, that is a genuine reason to stay on Syncfusion. For a Svelte stack, SvGrid is the native fit.
