lisztbl

lisztbl is a lightweight JavaScript library designed to render and manage HTML tables from lists of data. It emphasizes accessibility, providing semantic markup, keyboard navigation, and responsive behavior.

The project originated in the early 2020s as an open-source effort to provide a minimal, dependency-free table utility. The first public release appeared on GitHub, followed by subsequent updates introducing features such as client-side sorting and filtering.

Key features include client-side rendering, accessible markup with semantic table roles, keyboard navigation, column sorting, text filtering, pagination, responsive layouts, and data export options (CSV, JSON). The library emphasizes a small footprint and extensibility through plugins.

liszttbl is written in vanilla JavaScript with an ES module interface. It uses a modular core and optional adapters for popular frameworks such as React, Vue, and Svelte, allowing developers to integrate it without committing to a single framework.

To use liszttbl, developers supply an array or array of objects and a configuration describing columns. The library renders a table in a container element and handles interactions such as sorting and filtering. It is designed to work with moderate datasets in the browser.

In the developer community, liszttbl is noted for its simplicity and accessibility, though it may not match the feature depth of larger tabular libraries for very large datasets. See also DataTables, List.js, AG Grid.
