how to load the local JSON variable using jquery datatable

Question

I have a local JSON dataset. I want to use jquery datatable plugin to display it. Is there any setting or configuration inside datatable plugin to display data? All I can fi

Answer 1

Use data option to supply data for a table.

For example:

var table_data = [
    [ "Tiger Nixon", "System Architect", "$3,120", "2011/04/25", "Edinburgh", 5421 ],
    [ "Garrett Winters", "Director", "$8,422", "2011/07/25", "Edinburgh", 8422 ]
];

$('#example').DataTable( {
    data: table_data
} );

If your data is a string in JSON format, you may want to parse it first with either $.parseJSON() or JSON.parse().

See this jsFiddle for code and demonstration.
