Main differences between the Pro and Community distributions

If you are interested in more details about the features, visit the version comparison section.

Feature Description
DOM management With a new DOM management engine, the pagination and lazy loading options allow for higher efficiency when rendering tables.
Formula parsing The upgraded formula engine ensures that the efficiency and accuracy of calculations are enhanced, even when dealing with chained formulas.
Cross-Worksheet calculations Work with formulas from different and multiple worksheets.
Data persistence Offers complete support for data persistence. Developers can persist not only data, but also the properties of data tables in a remote server. Data tables can thus be easily recreated.

Stronger integration with remote servers enables better management of record IDs and remote data persistence.
Decouple editors Allows for overwriting column properties for one specific cell. For example, the table can be configured to render a drop-down in one specific cell within a text type column.
Filter options The filterOptions property helps developers overwrite the behavior of a cell based on the values of another cell. For example, I have two date columns in a table; the second should not have a date that is before the one in the first.
Custom editor template Offers a lot of new native column types and provides a new simplified custom type template. Developers can extend and create new custom column types in mere minutes.
Worksheet management The advanced integrated tab management system gives users a higher degree of flexibility, including the option to create new worksheets inside a spreadsheet.
Add-ons and extensions Support for add-ons and plugins, which allows developers to use third-party extensions or create their own add-ons.
Premium support Offers timely and comprehensive technical support to help developers maximize the potential of Jspreadsheet Pro and fulfill any application requirements.
