jqGrid is an Ajax-enabled JavaScript control that provides solutions for representing and manipulating tabular data on the web. Since the grid is a client-side solution loading data dynamically through Ajax callbacks, it can be integrated with any server-side technology, including PHP, ASP, Java Servlets, JSP, ColdFusion, and Perl.

jqGrid uses a jQuery Java Script Library and is written as plug-in for that package. For more information on jQuery, please refer to the jQuery web site.

jqGrid's Home page can be found here.

Working examples of jqGrid, with explanations, can be found here.

The last development version can be obtained from GitHub

JqGrid was developed by Tony Tomov at Trirand Inc., a software development firm based in Sofia. Trirand specializes in the development of web components, and embraces free and open standards like jQuery, ThemeRoller, & jQuery UI.

Tony got the idea for jqGrid when he needed an easy way to represent database information in a project. The first requirement was speed and the second, independence from server-side technology and the database backend.

Tony developed jqGrid and made it available for free as a way of making a contribution to the open-source community.

In addition to the free jqGrid, Trirand also develops commercially-available, server-side grid components for PHP. These components are not required for jqGrid to work, but they speed up the process of making complete grid solutions, and they save developers the effort of writing server-side code.
