<h1>DataTables example <span>- Nested object data (arrays)</span></h1>
<div class="info">
<p>The information read from an Ajax data source can be arbitrarily complex, but still be displayed by
DataTables through the <a href="//datatables.net/init/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
"Initialisation option">columns.data</code></a> option, which is particularly useful for working with
JSON feeds in an already defined format.</p>
<p>The <a href="//datatables.net/init/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
"Initialisation option">columns.data</code></a> option has the ability to read information not only
from objects, but also from arrays using the same dotted object syntax as for objects. In addition to
this, when working with an array data source <a href="//datatables.net/init/columns.data"><code class=
"option" title="Initialisation option">columns.data</code></a> can process the data to combine and
display the data in simple forms (more complex forms can be defined by using <a href=
"//datatables.net/init/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
"Initialisation option">columns.data</code></a> as a function).</p>
<p>This example shows two different aspects of using <a href=
"//datatables.net/init/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
"Initialisation option">columns.data</code></a> to read arrays:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <em>Name</em> column is sourced from an array of two elements (first and last name), which
are automatically concatenated together. This is done by using array bracket syntax, with the
characters between the brackets being used as the glue between elements (e.g. <code>name[,
]</code>).</li>
<li>The <em>Position</em>, <em>Start date</em> and <em>Salary</em> columns are read directly from
array elements using dotted object notation (e.g. <code>hr.0</code>). Note that the order in which
the data can be used in the columns does not have to match the order in which it is defined in the
data source. The structure of the row's data source in this example is:</li>
</ul>
<pre>
<code class="multiline">{
"name": [
"Nixon",
"Tiger"
],
"hr": [
"System Architect",
"$3,120",
"2011/04/25"
],
"office": "Edinburgh",
"extn": "5421"
}
</code>
</pre>
</div>
<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<th>Position</th>
<th>Office</th>
<th>Extn.</th>

<p>The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:</p>
<pre class="brush: js;">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable( {
&quot;ajax&quot;: &quot;data/objects_subarrays.txt&quot;,
&quot;columns&quot;: [

{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;hr.0&quot; },
{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;office&quot; },
{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;extn&quot; },
{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;hr.2&quot; },
{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;hr.1&quot; }
]
} );
} );
</pre>
<p>In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this
example:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="../../media/js/jquery.js">../../media/js/jquery.js</a></li>
<li><a href="../../media/js/jquery.dataTables.js">../../media/js/jquery.dataTables.js</a></li>

<div class="table">
<p>The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by
DataTables:</p>
</div>
<div class="css">
<div>
<p>This example uses a little bit of additional CSS beyond what is loaded from the library
files (below), in order to correctly display the table. The additional CSS used is shown
below:</p>
<pre class="brush: js;">

<p>The following CSS library files are loaded for use in this example to provide the styling of the
