Welcome to the SlickGrid! - GitHub. DataDrop – Drag Grid Data in From a Spreadsheet. I was stewing about an example that Andrea Giammarchi came up with, it was so cool - very cool - but totally useless in the form it was in (from a UX standpoint).
It was a proof of concept, so I wasn't expecting it to be useful right away, in fact all I was expecting is that it give me an idea - and it did. The Concept If we could drag our tabular data into grids from other programs we could circumvent the need to upload a data file to a web server to be read and parsed, then spit back out to our browser in a readable format. Anyone who has ever had to parse Excel files on the server side knows how much of a pain it is, we might be lucky if we get a CSV file or some other simple format, but in the real world the end user running their spreadsheet program has no clue what simple tabular data is.
