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

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.
