<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/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title="DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> option, which
is particularly useful for working with JSON feeds in an already defined format.</p>
<p>The <a href="//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
"DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></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/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title="DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></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/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title="DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> as a
function).</p>
<p>This example shows two different aspects of using <a href="//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
"DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> to read arrays:</p>
<ul class="markdown">
<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>

<p>The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:</p><code class="multiline language-js">$(document).ready(function() {

{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;hr.2&quot; },
{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;hr.1&quot; }
]
} );
} );</code>
<p>In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:</p>

<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><code class="multiline language-css"></code>

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

New: `language.decimal` option. This option can be used to tell DataTables which character is used as a decimal place in the table's data, so that number which are formatted using characters other than a dot as the decimal place can be correctly detected and sorted. - A large part of the world uses the comma as a decimal place, so it makes sense to have this option built-in directly to DataTables, rather than needing to use plu-in sorting types as before: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark - However, the decimal place character cannot be detected automatically since there are far to many ambiguities. As such, a new `language.decimal` option is defined which is passed through to the type detection functions. The type detection functions can then use that character to alter their detection functions to transform numbers into the dot formatted equivilent for parsing in Javascript. - The numeric sorting methods have been bundled together in the function `_addNumericSort` which is called when a character is given for the decimal mark, adding the sorting functions required specifically for that mark. This means that any character at all can be added, while keeping the table's sort performance as it was. - Code size in increased a little for this new feature, but a lot of work has been done to keep it to a minimum (while still optimising for the most common use case of a dot decimal place), and this is a good feature to have in DataTables' core code. - All required documentation added and updated. - Special thanks to Tobias Bäthge for suggesting and sponsoring this feature.
