If you want to load CSV, there is no native way to do it in datatables, you'd have to the api rows.add().

You can AJAX request the CSV file and then break it up if that's what you require.

Thanks

Thanks Tom for your Response.
Is it possible to provide a complete example ( CSV to Ajax ) and then the Ajax is called in the file.
It would be very helpful.
