<h1>DataTables example <span>Pipelining data to reduce Ajax calls for paging</span></h1>
<div class="info">
<p>Sever-side processing can be quite hard on your server, since it makes an Ajax call to the server
for every draw request that is made. On sites with a large number of page views, you could potentially
end up DDoSing your own server with your own applications!</p>
<p>This example shows one technique to reduce the number of Ajax calls that are made to the server by
caching more data than is needed for each draw. This is done by intercepting the Ajax call and routing
it through a data cache control; using the data from the cache if available, and making the Ajax
request if not. This intercept of the Ajax request is performed by giving the <a href=
"//datatables.net/reference/option/ajax"><code class="option" title=
"DataTables initialisation option">ajax<span>DT</span></code></a> option as a function. This function
then performs the logic of deciding if another Ajax call is needed, or if data from the cache can be
used.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that this caching is for paging only; the pipeline must be cleared for other
interactions such as ordering and searching since the full data set, when using server-side processing,
is only available at the server.</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.
