  Sure, you should be able to do what you have done (as per ajax.data). If that isn't working, please link to a test case showing the issue.

  Thanks much Allan.I am able to pass the data as string.
  But I am trying to send the json data,

  var temp ={} ;

  temp["test"] = "test";
  temp["type"] = "user";
  

  $('#example').dataTable( {
  "ajax": { "url": "url", "type": "POST", "data":temp}, "columns": [ { "data": "first_name" } ] } ); } );

  but the json is converting as string while reading : "temp=test&type=user".

  How can I pass json as data in ajax post request?
  Kindly help me.

  Is there anything I should be doing to force this to be a json? I tried setting
  contentType: "application/json; charset=UTF-8"

  but no luck.

  I tried processData: false from ajax ,

  When I do the normal ajax request like below,the payload sends data like this as expected - {"title":"title"}

  var article = new Object();
  article.title = "title";

  $.ajax({
  url: '/test',
  type: 'POST',
  processData: false,
  data: JSON.stringify( article ),
  contentType: "application/json"
  })

  But with Datatable

  $('#example').dataTable( {
  "ajax": { "url": "url",
  "type": "POST",
  processData: false,
  data: JSON.stringify( article ),
  contentType: "application/json},
  "columns": [ { "data": "first_name" } ] } );
  } );

  the payload sends data like - [object Object].It is not converting as string.

  Is there way to use "processData: false" with datatable?All I am trying to do is post the json not as request params but in request body.

  configure your data key with a function
  "data": function(tableAttr) {
  return {
  rp: tableAttr.length,//每页显示多少页
  start: tableAttr.start//现在是第几页
  };
  },
  I tried it and it worked

  Thanks strayling ,

  I tried your suggestion,

  $('#example').dataTable( {
  "ajax": { "url": "url",
  "type": "POST",
  processData: false,
  "data": function ( d ) {
  return {
  "extra_search": "d",
  "test" :"test"
  } ;
  },
  contentType: "application/json},
  "columns": [ { "data": "first_name" } ] } ); } );

  Without processData: false,
  In payload i see - extra_search=d&test=test,

  with processData: false,

  In payload i see - [object Object]

  I am expecting to see - { extra_search:d,test:test}.How can I achieve this?

  Any suggestions highly appreciated.

  You could try:

  data: function ( json ) {
    return JSON.stringify( json );
  }
  

  That will submit the JSON object ion the body of the request, rather than as HTTP parameters.
