As an alternative to pagination, infinite scrolling continuously loads more data as users scroll down, eliminating the need to click a Next button or navigate through multiple pages.

However, infinite scrolling has its drawbacks. It doesn't keep track of pages, making it challenging for users to refer back to previously viewed data. Additionally, it doesn't indicate the total amount of data in the table, which can lead to user frustration.

Use infinite scrolling in tables when the user experience benefits from seamless, continuous browsing, particularly when the precise quantity of data is less important, or when quick, endless access to a large dataset is prioritized over precise navigation. For instance, in a table showcasing an extensive inventory of books in an online library, infinite scrolling would be beneficial.
