We are going to discuss an example of integrating a data grid widget as it is offered by the Ext JS framework, into the Backbase framework.

Secondly, we show that it is fairly easy to incorporate functionality that is offered by another framework or library, if for some reason you prefer that over what is offered by Backbase or if it offers something additional
