At White Oak Technologies, we love the Dojo toolkit’s DataGrid widget. It has built-in pagination, dynamic data binding, flexible resizing, and all kinds of sexy customization options. However, when you operate in the world of Big Data, as we do, it can fall short of its promise, ballooning your memory footprint, crushing your JavaScript engine, and otherwise causing your users to curse your name.

I’m going to walk through the lessons we’ve learned over the past 3 years about how to use DataGrid to render extremely wide, extremely large data sets without thrashing your browser (or your users’ will to live).
