ListView

The ListView widget is used to display data from a data provider.
Each data model is rendered using the specified view file.
Since it provides features such as pagination, sorting and filtering out of the box, it is handy both to display
information to end user and to create data managing UI.

GridView

Data grid or GridView is one of the most powerful Yii widgets. It is extremely useful if you need to quickly build the admin
section of the system. It takes data from a data provider and renders each row using a set of columnspresenting data in the form of a table.

Each row of the table represents the data of a single data item, and a column usually represents an attribute of
the item (some columns may correspond to complex expressions of attributes or static text).
