Accessing data in JSON format after DataTable initilization

sumitshining

Hi,

I have a datatable already initialized. I can't make changes in existing code. Instead, I have to write code to access the data that is received in JSON.

I can see some data in response to the http request in JSON but can't deduce a method to retrieve it. It can be retrieved using fnGetData(i) where i is the row index but this is not json format data.

My actual requirement is to use a property value received in the data from server. So from the server I am sending it as an object embedded in the data. Any other way it can be retrieved?

Perhaps fnInitComplete ? The second parameter passed into that is the json data from the server.

Yeah. This works but the problem is extended to the function called.
Now, since the data is in array form even if I pass the data as object it goes into an array and ultimately I end up at same problem. Probably the solution you provided to opt for Object rather than array might help.

I don't really understand I'm afraid. fnInitComplete passes the json object from the server straight through.
