Server side processing `name` parameter

RagnarGrootKoerkamp

When using server side processing, for every column a name value is sent. What is the purpose of this field? From what I can find, Editor.php does not use this value.

You are correct - Editor.php doesn't use it, but it is part of the parameters that server-side processing sends to the servers. It takes its value from columns.name and can be useful for some scripts where you need to be able to identify a column from something other than the data. That isn't something Editor's libraries use, but it is possible in other server-side processing scripts.
