Beginner question mData, aData, aoData??

hawkmaster

Hello
I am an beginner of Datatables.
I am a little bit confused about different syntax. In the examples and manual I can read for example "mData". But then on some posts I can read about aData or aoData or aaData.
What is the different?
Then same for oColumn an aoColumn and other.
Can somebody give me some info about the differences or where I can find more information?
thanks a lot
kind regards
hawk

The information is contained in the reference. The old style Hungarian notation is no longer used (it will still work, but as you point out, it is plenty confusing).

For your specific questions see:

• mData: columns.data
• aaData: data
• aoData: It is internal - don't use it!
