  I made it work by:

          if (json.show_extra_contents) {
            $('#tbody1').on('click', function () {
              $('#information').empty();
              for (var i = 0; i < json.tb_fields.length; i++) {
                $('#information').append(json.tb_titles[i] + ': ' + table.row({selected: true}).data()[json.tb_fields[i]] + '<br>');
              }
            });
          }

  Thanks for the quick response @kthorngren, Actually now I changed the code to:

  if (json.show_extra_contents) {
    $('#tbody1').on('click', function () {
      $('#information').empty();
      var tb = table.row({selected: true}).data()[json.tb_name];
      var keys = Object.keys(tb);
      for (var i = 0; i < json.tb_fields.length; i++) {
        $('#information').append(json.tb_titles[i] + ': ' + tb[keys[i]] + '<br>');
      }
    });
  }
  

  And now the problem is no matter which row I click, it only shows the contents of the first row. May you take a look at the test case 54.199.175.35/6

  I believe that you will need to use the select extension in order for selected: true in table.row({selected: true}) to work.

  Another option, not requiring additional JS, to get the data from the selected row is this:

  var tb = table.row($(this)).data();
  

  EDIT: almost forgot you probably need to change your click event to:
  .on('click', 'tbody tr', function ()
