Similar packages

Other packages similar to react-window

react-virtualized

React-virtualized is another popular library for efficiently rendering large lists and tabular data in React applications. It offers a similar set of features to react-window but includes additional functionality such as cell measuring and dynamic grid layouts. However, react-window is often preferred for its simpler API and better performance in common use cases.

react-infinite

React-infinite is a package that helps in building infinite scrolling lists in React. It differs from react-window in that it focuses on providing an infinite scrolling experience rather than just windowing. React-infinite may be more suitable for use cases where the list length is not known upfront or can grow dynamically.

react-list

React-list is a versatile infinite scroll React component. It supports variable lengths, dynamic item sizes, horizontal layouts, and more. Compared to react-window, react-list has a more flexible API but may not be as optimized for performance in rendering large datasets.
