TreeTable.js: Lightweight Tree Table Plugin with Virtual Scrolling

TreeTable, a jQuery plugin for creating tree tables that can handle huge datasets. Its main advantage is virtual scrolling, which keeps the UI fast by only rendering visible rows.

Key features:

  • Unlimited nesting levels: Support for deeply nested tree structures without performance limitations.
  • Virtual scrolling: Renders only visible rows to maintain performance with large datasets.
  • Level-based checkboxes: Cascading selection behavior with parent-child relationship awareness.
  • Expand/collapse controls: Interactive tree navigation with smooth animations.
  • Data reloading: Dynamic content updates without full component reinitialization.
  • Pure CSS icons: Lightweight visual indicators without external icon dependencies.
  • Responsive layout: Adaptive design that works across different screen sizes.
  • Custom column support: Flexible column configuration with template functions.
  • Event callbacks: Comprehensive event system for interaction handling.
  • Streaming loading: Progressive data loading for improved initial render performance.

It's a great solution for things like file explorers or complex category management systems.
