Is there a way to build the table server side, leave pagination and so on the client side?

Basically so the table doesn't get made twice, making things slower.
Though I haven't really got a clue if it's even possible, the only thing mentioned under initialization is the jquery on document ready.
Thank you ahead of time.

When you say server side do you mean having serverSide: true? Meaning Server Side Processing is enabled? When using server side processing all functions, sorting, searching, paging, are performed by the server script.

However you can use ajax to fetch data from the server then use client side paging, sorting and searching. See this FAQ for more information.
