Masonry vs. React vs. Webix Grid vs. python-sql Comparison Chart

Masonry is a JavaScript grid layout library. It works by placing elements in optimal position based on available vertical space, sort of like a mason fitting stones in a wall. You’ve probably seen it in use all over the Internet. All sizing and styling of items is handled by your own CSS. Item sizes can be set with percentages for responsive layouts. Unloaded images can throw off Masonry layouts and cause item elements to overlap. imagesLoaded resolves this issue. imagesLoaded is a separate script you can download. You can initialize Masonry in HTML, without writing any JavaScript. All options are optional, but column width and item selection are recommended. Align items to a horizontal grid. Use element sizing for responsive layouts with percentage widths. Element sizing options allow you to control the sizing of the Masonry layout within your CSS. This is useful for responsive layouts and media queries.
