## Notes

DataTables adds sorting, paging and filtering to HTML tables. The project's homepage calls it a software suite for creating data grids, and its installation page states that it needs no other libraries. It is installed with a package manager, from the DataTables CDN, or through the download builder on the project site. Its source is kept in the DataTablesSrc repository; the older DataTables repository is marked as legacy.

## Worth knowing

The DataTables Plus suite of premium extensions, Editor among them, is available under a commercial license alongside the open source core. Older releases were licensed under GPL v2 and a BSD-style license.
