●●SolidSlickSolve My Problem

Lighter alternative to AG Grid with zero dependencies and CSP compliance.

Strengths

•Zero dependencies means smaller bundle size and fewer security vulnerabilities.
•Curated Virtual DOM ensures 60FPS scrolling even with millions of rows.
•100% CSP-compliant out of the box, rare for this category.

Weaknesses

•Crowded market dominated by AG Grid and Handsontable with deeper features.
•Enterprise feature parity likely lags behind established paid competitors.

Post Description

Hello HN!

Some time ago I released DataGridXL version 3. Version 1 and 2 both reached the Hacker News homepage, which made me really proud!

DataGridXL is a modern Excel-like data grid.

Version 3 is the best version of DataGridXL so far! More features, more performance, better product!

Have a look at the website and let me know what you think!

P.S. I have already released Spreadsheet Preview (https://spreadsheetpreview.com) which is like PDF.js but for .xlsx files.

Cheers!

Robbert

Sheetz – Java Excel/CSV: one-liner API and million-row streaming

Sheetz literally reduces Apache POI boilerplate to Sheetz.read(...) / Sheetz.write(...), and it pairs that convenience with annotation-based mapping, a fluent multi-sheet builder, built-in streaming for million-row files, and row-level validation. It doesn't invent a new category—EasyExcel and POI already exist—but the one-line API, examples, and Maven releases make it an attractive, pragmatic choice when you need spreadsheet import/export without wrestling with workbook plumbing.
