Effective Data Communication and Processing

With dhtmlxConnector, you don't need to worry about data formats anymore. dhtmlxConnector handles data connections between the server side and the client-side DHTMLX components, seamlessly loading content from the database to the browser.

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.
