Flexmonster Pivot Table & Charts is a powerful and fully customizable JavaScript component for web reporting. It is packed with all core features for data analysis and can easily become a part of your data visualization project. The tool supports popular frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, Blazor, and more. Also, Flexmonster connects to any data source, including SQL and NoSQL databases, JSON and CSV files, OLAP cubes, and Elasticsearch.

This repository contains sample servers that demonstrate how to implement the custom data source API.

The custom data source API is our communication protocol that helps you build a custom data source based on your server. The server must be responsible for loading, processing, and aggregating data. After implementing the protocol on your server, you can load the data from the server into Flexmonster.
