            }
        
        </script>
    

    This is the sample code. Any example code of putting HTML of

    <

    table> combining with table data in JSON sent from server side to client <script> for rendering?

    "<div class='card-body'><table id='example' class='display' cellspacing='0' width='100%'>"
                        "<thead>"
                            "<tr>"
    

    Isn't valid Javascript.

    Assuming you can target modern browsers use a template literal which makes multi-line string so much easier. Otherwise add a + concatenation operator between each string.
