dhtmlxConnector is an extension for the DHTMLX library, which maps client-side components onto the server-side datasource. Supported components are:

• dhtmlxTree
• dhtmlxGrid
• dhtmlxTreeGrid
• dhtmlxCombo
• dhtmlxDataView
• dhtmlxScheduler

You don’t need to worry about data formats any more. dhtmlxConnector will handle data connections between the server-side database and client-side components, seamlessly loading content. When integrated with dhtmlxDataProcessor on the client side, dhtmlxConnector also takes care of update/insert/delete operations.

It organizes server-side functionality to support special modes for components working with large amounts of data (such as dynamic loading, Smart Rendering, and paging) as well as server-side sorting and filtering.

A great advantage of dhtmlxConnector is its usability. The video below shows how to map dhtmlxGrid to the database, implementing support for large datasets with server-side sorting and filtering as well as data updating capabilities. Sample files related to the video can be downloaded here.
