Create Responsive Table very easy –

Responsiveness is a feature that allows presenting the same content differently depending on the display size of device that is used to view it. In other words, the same website can be presented differently on a laptop, mobile phone or a tablet.
Any wpDataTable can be responsive table, it doesn’t matter which data source do you use – CSV, JSON , Excel, or any other. In this WordPress responsive table plugin you can choose which columns do you want to be visible or hidden on tablets and/or mobiles. The hidden columns’ data will be still available for the users that would like to see it in a dropdown; it will collapse under an expandable block in the first visible column. More about process of creating a responsive table in our docs Responsive table in WordPress.
Your tables will be 100% functional, and they will look great on all screen and devices.

Make WordPress table from CSV

The CSV, or “comma-separated-values” is a widely used format; It is lightweight, simple, can be generated by almost any software, and created manually by users. Beside ‘comma’, wpDataTables support ‘colon’, ‘semicolon’, ‘vertical bar (pipe) and ‘TAB’ as CSV delimiter. You can create responsive, searchable and sortable WordPress tables quite easy. You can find detail instructions on the link How to create WordPress tables from CSV files.

Generate WordPress table from XML

XML – (Extensible Markup Language) is a universal standard for presenting data. It is one of the most widely used standards for data transfer between the server and the client. It is increasingly used as a standard in which documents are saved (Libre Office and Microsoft Office). Finally, the HTML standard for creating web pages is derived from the SGML or XML standard. A lot of web services “run” on XML, and wpDataTables supports XML as an input data source as well. Find in our docs How to create WordPress tables with XML.

Build WordPress table from JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a popular interlingual data exchange format. Many server applications provide public data in JSON format. JSON is based on the syntax of Javascript objects. Since most web applications use client-side JavaScript, JSON has become the ‘de facto’ standard for packing data on the web and wpDataTables also supports the JSON format as an input data source.
Learn How to create WordPress tables from JSON in our documentation.

Develop dynamic WordPress table from Serialized PHP array

For developer users, or users who are at least somewhat familiar with PHP language, that previous input data sources (Excel, CSV, XML of JSON) are not flexible enough for dynamic data presentation. We didn’t want to limit your freedom in wpDataTables, so we implemented serialized PHP arrays as one of data sources, so you are able to create dynamic datatables. You can prepare data from some private or public API, or use WP Query to get data from your posts, get data by depending on some variables in the URL, or use some other complex logic. Learn how you can prepare a PHP file and How to create WordPress tables based on serialized PHP arrays in our docs.

Responsive Charts in wpDataTables can be created with a step-by-step chart creation wizard in WordPress admin. On each step you can go back to change the settings with huge number of customization options.
