  40. <div class="info">
  41. <p>To try and make life easy, by default, DataTables expects arrays to be used as the data source for
  42. rows in the table. However, this isn't always useful, and you may wish to have DataTables use objects
  43. as the data source for each row (i.e. each row has its data described by an object) as this can make
  44. working with the data much more understandable, particularly if you are using the API and you don't
  45. need to keep track of array indexes.</p>
  46. <p>This can be done quite simply by using the <a href=
  47. "//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
  48. "DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> option which you use to tell
  49. DataTables which property to use from the data source object for each column.</p>
  50. <p>In this example the Ajax source returns an array of objects, which DataTables uses to display the
  51. table. The structure of the row's data source in this example is:</p>
  52. <pre>
  53. <code class="multiline">{
  54. "name": "Tiger Nixon",
  55. "position": "System Architect",
  56. "salary": "$3,120",
  57. "start_date": {
  58. "display": "Mon 25th Apr 11",
  59. "timestamp": "1303682400"
  60. },
  61. "office": "Edinburgh",
  62. "extn": "5421"
  63. }
  64. </code>
  65. </pre>
  66. </div>
  67. <table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

  115. <p>In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this
  116. example:</p>
