  36. <h1>DataTables example <span>Nested object data (arrays)</span></h1>
  37. <div class="info">
  38. <p>The information read from an Ajax data source can be arbitrarily complex, but still be displayed by
  39. DataTables through the <a href="//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option"
  40. title="DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> option, which is
  41. particularly useful for working with JSON feeds in an already defined format.</p>
  42. <p>The <a href="//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
  43. "DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> option has the ability to
  44. read information not only from objects, but also from arrays using the same dotted object syntax as for
  45. objects. In addition to this, when working with an array data source <a href=
  46. "//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
  47. "DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> can process the data to
  48. combine and display the data in simple forms (more complex forms can be defined by using <a href=
  49. "//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
  50. "DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> as a function).</p>
  51. <p>This example shows two different aspects of using <a href=
  52. "//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
  53. "DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> to read arrays:</p>
  54. <ul class="markdown">
  55. <li>The <em>Name</em> column is sourced from an array of two elements (first and last name), which
  56. are automatically concatenated together. This is done by using array bracket syntax, with the
  57. characters between the brackets being used as the glue between elements (e.g. <code>name[,
  58. ]</code>).</li>
  59. <li>The <em>Position</em>, <em>Start date</em> and <em>Salary</em> columns are read directly from
  60. array elements using dotted object notation (e.g. <code>hr.0</code>). Note that the order in which
  61. the data can be used in the columns does not have to match the order in which it is defined in the
  62. data source. The structure of the row's data source in this example is:</li>
  63. </ul>
  64. <pre>
  65. <code class="multiline">{
  66. "name": [
  67. "Nixon",

  72. "$3,120",
  73. "2011/04/25"

  75. "office": "Edinburgh",
