  I don't really understand your question I'm afraid. If you want to apply common settings, you would do so using the defaults, which you mention.

  Let's say I have 6 tables and I am attaching similar styles to 3 tables and other styles to remaining.
  So instead of writing same code , I wanted to check if I can pass String like

                responsive: true
              , 'bAutoWidth' : false
              ,searching : true
  

  and other styles as
  responsive: true
  , 'bAutoWidth' : false
  ,searching : false
  ,paging : true

  Similar to using this function
  $.extend( true, $.fn.dataTable.defaults, {}

  but instead of fn.dataTable.defaults pass fn.dataTable.(cssClass name or some Selector)

  I hope I am able to explain.

  What I want to accomplish to avoid rewriting all the default formats for different sets.
  The more I am using Datatable more I am enjoying using it.

  Thanks for such an awesome plugIn

  You could do this:

  var defaults1 = {
    responsive: true,
    ...
  };
  
  var defaults2 = {
    ...
  };
  
  $('#myTable').DataTable( $.extend( true, {}, {
    ...
  }, defaults1 );
