action=edit
data[first_name]=Airi
data[last_name]=Satou
data[position]=Accountant
data[office]=Tokyo
data[extn]=5407
data[start_date]=2008-11-28
data[salary]=162700

Yes, what you can do is use the ajax.data option as a function and have it return the data as a JSON string - e.g.:

var editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
  ajax: {
    url: '...',
    data: function ( d ) {
      return JSON.stringify( d );
    }
  },
  ...
} );

It isn't currently in the documentation that you can do that, however, I've decided to make it a supported feature (for DataTables as well) and it will be in the next documentation update.
