What is the best React data table component for large datasets?

For large datasets, ka-table stands out due to its built-in virtual scrolling, which renders only visible rows and keeps performance smooth even with tens of thousands of records. TanStack Table is also strong but requires more manual wiring for virtualization.

How do I add editing, filtering, and sorting to a React table?

With ka-table, you enable these features declaratively through the `columns` prop and the `editingMode`, `filteringMode`, and `sortingMode` options passed to the Table component. No external plugins needed — each feature is built-in and activated with a single configuration key.

Is ka-table better than AG Grid or TanStack Table?

It depends on your use case. Ka-table offers a simpler API, full TypeScript support, and zero mandatory dependencies, making it ideal for mid-to-large React projects. AG Grid is more feature-rich for enterprise scenarios but heavier. TanStack Table is headless and requires more custom UI work. Ka-table hits a practical sweet spot for most teams.
