Build Smarter Data Grids Faster in JS

November 3, 2025
Highcharts Grid Pro v2.0 brings intuitive editing, visual insights, and flexible deployment, now available as a standalone grid for any JavaScript app.

Highcharts Grid Pro is a versatile data grid component developed by the creators of Highcharts, offering both standalone functionality and tight integration within the Highcharts and Highcharts Dashboards ecosystems. It features advanced capabilities such as real-time data binding, column sorting, filtering, inline editing, pagination, and data export, enabling users to work with structured data efficiently. Designed to complement Highcharts' visual components, Grid Pro allows for seamless alignment between data tables and interactive charts when used together, but it can also function independently in applications that require only tabular data interaction. This makes it ideal for a wide range of use cases, including financial platforms, business intelligence tools, and any application where users need to view, edit, and interact with complex datasets directly in the browser.

Highcharts Grid Pro is now available as a standalone component. The v2.0 update delivers a set of professional-grade enhancements focused on improving usability, data control, and visual clarity. It introduces interactive editing with built-in editors for text, numbers, and dates, making in-grid updates more intuitive. Configurable validation rules ensure data accuracy, while embedded sparklines, powered by Highcharts Core, provide immediate visual insights alongside the data. Features such as pagination, column filtering, and sorting make it easier to manage and explore large datasets. Developers can also implement custom behaviors and event hooks to align the grid with specific application needs.

For a limited time you can benefit from special introductory pricing!

Compare Multiple Datasets with Scatter Plots

October 30, 2025
Easily compare and analyze diverse data series with customizable scatter charts that reveal relationships, trends, and outliers for deeper insight.

A scatter chart is a visual tool that displays relationships between two variables by plotting data points on an X and Y axis. Each point represents a value pair, helping users quickly identify patterns, correlations, and outliers within complex datasets. Scatter charts effectively highlight trends, clusters, and anomalies that might not be visible in tables. With customizable markers, colors, and sizes, they clearly differentiate data groups. Common use cases include analyzing sales versus marketing spend, comparing temperature and energy use, or assessing customer satisfaction relative to pricing. This turns raw data into clear and actionable visual insights.

Several JavaScript chart controls offer scatter charts including:

  • DevExtreme Angular Chart (part of DevExtreme Complete by DevExpress) lets you visualize complex relationships through interactive scatter charts with clear data markers.
  • Highcharts Core by Highsoft enables detailed scatter chart visualizations with dynamic tooltips, real-time updates, and rich customization for professional analytics.
  • AnyChart JS allows you to create insightful scatter plots highlighting correlations, clusters, and outliers with flexible styling and interactivity.
  • Syncfusion JavaScript Charts (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) facilitates precise scatter chart rendering with high performance and advanced customization.
