Issue
I use Thymeleaf as my template engine.
I need to have the ability to create tables dynamically. I don't know in advance which columns should be output. It needs to read from the data source. I have to search by all columns, sort them.
What free plugin for jQuery can I use?
Solution
I've been working with spring + thymeleaf for a while and the most resourceful one has been DataTables. It has been around since 2007 and has plenty of documentation and "plugin" libs to do pretty much everything you can think of.
Now if you are feeling a bit bolder, there's one big competitor, Tabulator. It feels way more modern both in appearance and code wise, but it lacks some of the more specific functionallity yet (it's in active development). You can check their roadmap here: Tabulator Roadmap
