<h1>DataTables example <span>Ajax sourced data</span></h1>
<divclass="info">
<p>DataTables can read data from a server via Ajax, while still performing searching, ordering, paging etc on the client-side. This is done through use of the <ahref="//datatables.net/reference/option/ajax"><codeclass="option"title="DataTables initialisation option">ajax</code></a> option, which has a number of options to customise how the data is retrieved from the server.</p>
<p>The examples in this section demonstrate the use of Ajax loading data in DataTables, with client-side processing.</p>
Please refer to the <ahref="http://www.datatables.net">DataTables documentation</a> for full information about its API properties and methods.<br>
Additionally, there are a wide range of <ahref="http://www.datatables.net/extensions">extensions</a> and <ahref="http://www.datatables.net/plug-ins">plug-ins</a> which extend the capabilities of DataTables.
