jQuery.sheet, a different approach

"Simple, Fast, and Tested"... that's our motto

jQuery.sheet is simple, inside and out.

By keeping everything simple, we can focus on what is important, stability, speed, and features. jQuery.sheet is simple in many ways:

  • instantiation with a single method
  • customizable theme engine
  • user experience
  • support for all the major data types
  • resource light
  • support for Excel style formulas
  • cached values

jQuery.sheet is FAST! We mean SUPER FAST.

By using techniques that are cross browser compliant, and state of the art, we make implementation a breeze and using it super super fast:

  • natural synthetic asynchronous processing
  • multi threaded processing
  • streaming data
  • unlimited size spreadsheets
  • NO server side script

We are able to load massive spreadsheets (200+ megabytes of json for example) in under a half second (300 milliseconds to be exact). This allows jQuery.sheet not only to compete with other spreadsheet systems, but it allows jQuery.sheet to be a major enterprise platform for big data. Also by not having a server side component we are able to achieve INCREDIBLE SPEEDS. Speeds at which Google and Microsoft cannot obtain. Don't believe it? Look for tests soon.

jQuery.sheet is tested.

We use unit testing to ensure our product is superior:

  • user interaction
  • formula evaluation
  • data format
