HTML tables have a native JavaScript API that allows programmatic creation and manipulation of table elements without re-rendering the entire table. The API provides methods like insertRow() and insertCell() to build tables from data structures, and allows direct access to cells using array-like indexing. While the API has some quirks and limitations (like using -1 to append rows and no native TH element creation), it offers a more secure alternative to innerHTML string concatenation and could benefit from modernization similar to recent HTML form enhancements.

Abandonware of the web: do you know that there is an HTML tables API?

<p>commenting for higher reach, i didnt know this is a thing and i agree, we need to have one more JS library building on top of the table API 🤣</p>
