What is TableView?

TableView is the UI component used to display a large amount of data in a single column of scrolling views.

Limitation with TableView

• Presents data only in a single column
• Provides one-directional scrolling

To overcome these limitations, we can use the collection view inside the table view cells to get two directional scrolling.
