I'm looking for a MooTools based data grid that supports JSON and XML data types. If anyone could direct me to one, and identify a few key points why they would select it, I would appreciate it.

A: 

I'm currently looking at these things myself right now. So far I have come across the following ones for MooTools:

  1. OmniGrid - www.omnisdata.com/omnigrid/
  2. MooTable - joomlicious.com/mootable/
  3. MooTable (different to the second one) - www.silverscripting.com/moodatatable/test.html

The best ones however are probably the ones in the Ext JS Library (www.extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples/#sample-2) and the FlexGrid (www.flexigrid.info/) based on the Ext JS DataGrid but coded in jQuery.

Unfortunatly I have not found a mootools datagrid with the same level of functionality yet which is based on MooTools. So it will be interesting to see what other DataGrids for Mootools others will hopefully identify.

After lots of searching, I still haven't found anything that fits what I'm looking for. Thanks for your input.

I've ended up working with omnigrid and its actually been far easier than I thought to get it customised to suit my exact requirments. I have it loading data via JSON without any problem. If you really need to work with XML could you try writing a php (or similar) proxy script to convert xml to json?

I actually ended up converting the XML to JSON using the OmniGrid. I'm still not really happy with the end results, but it works. Thanks for your input.

I'm currently working on a rich object oriented dataGrid based on mootools. You could find this on http://www.fri-dev.com/ Lots of cool stuff : complex headers, editable fields with both client side / server side validation... An RC will be release ASAP
