We've been investigating TanStack Table, a third-party, open-source offering, which provides extensive data table capabilities surpassing what our Carbon Datagrid offers. It provides much more flexibility and customization. TanStack Table is headless which means it can easily be added alongside Datagrid component in your product or application. The benefits of more flexibility for product teams and less maintenance for Carbon makes it a win win. Lastly, it is available in multiple frameworks including React and Web Component so it provides an option to non-React product teams.

For these reasons, we have decided to transition from building our own custom table component to using an example-based approach with TanStack Table. Datagrid will still exist in our library for existing teams but we are announcing the deprecation* of the Datagrid component in v2.54.0 release so teams can begin to work through the transition. Details about how to use both Datagrid and TanStack together can be found here.

*Deprecation means that no new features will be added however sev 1 and sev 2 bugs will be supported.
