Crossfilter is a JavaScript library for exploring large multivariate datasets in the browser.
Crossfilter supports extremely fast (<30ms) interaction with coordinated views, even with datasets containing a million or more records.
Since most interactions only involve a single dimension, and then only small adjustments are made to the filter values, incremental filtering and reducing is significantly faster than starting from scratch. Crossfilter uses sorted indexes (and a few bit-twiddling hacks) to make this possible, dramatically increasing the performance of live histograms and top-K lists.
