Webix JavaScript UI Library

There’s a moment every developer hits.

Your app works great… until the data grows.

Scrolling gets janky. Updates lag. The UI starts falling apart.

This is where most data grids fail.

Webix Grid was tested against exactly these scenarios:

Massive datasets

Continuous updates

Complex interactions

And it stayed stable.

Not just “fast in demos” fast — actually usable under pressure.

If you care about performance beyond hello-world cases, this is worth exploring.

Webix Spreadsheet lets you add a rich, Excel-style spreadsheet component to your web application without reinventing the wheel. With advanced features like customizable formulas, filters, charts inside cells, and seamless import/export, it’s perfect for enterprise tools and data-driven interfaces — all configurable with API calls. 

So we talked to the people who live inside the code every day: mid and senior developers.

They told us which AI tools they use, what they don’t trust, and how their workflow has changed now that AI is fully “in the room.”

It’s honest. It’s human. It’s surprisingly funny. And yes, there’s a dark basement joke involved.

We’ve just released a new guest article on the Webix blog — a step-by-step guide to integrating OpenAI APIs with Webix and creating a functional Text-to-Speech app in half an hour.

If you're exploring AI tools or love building things quickly, this one’s worth checking out.

If you’re wondering which one to start with, we’ve got you covered.

This article explains the difference without jargon, shares real developer insights, and helps you understand when each language makes sense.

🔸 JavaScript — start fast and learn by doing. 🔸 TypeScript — build safely and scale with confidence.

This update is all about improving the UI experience and dev workflow:

Drag to resize grid columns even on touch devices

SpreadSheet gets more “Excel-like” superpowers: array methods, autofill for days & months, inheriting formats, better localization

Gantt charts can now auto-scroll to a date you choose

Let’s start smaller: what will a DataGrid need to survive 2026? ⚡ Virtual scrolling ⚡ Real-time data ⚡ Custom cells ⚡ Advanced search ⚡ Accessibility

And here’s the twist: Webix Grid has all of this already inside the box.

So yeah, the future? Kind of predictable. And kind of here already. ✨

✨ What if your table could do more than… just sit there?

Imagine it scrolling smoothly through thousands of rows, sorting, filtering, and handling data like a pro — all built with plain JavaScript.

In our new guide, we show you how to create a fully functional JavaScript Data Grid from scratch. No heavy frameworks, just clean code and clear steps.
