scrollY: '50vh',
columns: [

Have you looked at the ajax examples?

i did, I can clear the data using
var table = $('#example').DataTable();
table.clear().draw();

But when i try to load updated JSON its showing this error "DataTables warning: table id=example - Cannot reinitialise DataTable."

Reload Function : table.rows.add(UpdatedJSON.data);
