I'm retrieving records from a database using json. The boolean fields come back as True/False. I'd like to display Yes/No instead. How would I do that in Datatables? Thanks.

Three options:
1. Use your server-side script to modify the data before it is sent to the client.
2. Use
fnRender
to render the string as you wish.
3. Use
mDataProp
as a function (must the same as fnRender, but you get more control over the different data types - sorting, filtering, display etc).
Option 2 is probably the easier to implement as it will just take a couple of lines of code.
