			<h1>DataTables example <span>Flat array data source</span></h1>

			<div class="info">
				<p>When loading data from an Ajax source, by default, DataTables will look for the data to use in the <code>data</code> parameter of a returned object (e.g.
				<code>{ "data": [...] }</code>). This can easily be change by using the <code>dataSrc</code> option of the <a href=
				"//datatables.net/reference/option/ajax"><code class="option" title="DataTables initialisation option">ajax<span>DT</span></code></a> initiation option.</p>

				<p>The <a href="//datatables.net/reference/option/ajax.dataSrc"><code class="option" title=
				"DataTables initialisation option">ajax.dataSrc<span>DT</span></code></a> has a number of ways in which it can be used:</p>

				<ul class="markdown">
					<li>As a string (e.g. <code>dataSrc: 'myData'</code>) - obtain data from a different property in the source object.</li>
					<li>As an empty string (e.g. <code>dataSrc: ''</code>) - the data source is not an object but an array.</li>
					<li>As a function (e.g. <code>dataSrc: function(json) {}</code>) - a function can be used to transform the data from one source format to another (for example
					you could convert from XML to a Javascript object). The value returned from the function is used as the data for the table.</li>
				</ul>

				<p>The example below shows <a href="//datatables.net/reference/option/ajax.dataSrc"><code class="option" title=
				"DataTables initialisation option">ajax.dataSrc<span>DT</span></code></a> being used as an empty string. This tells DataTables that the JSON loaded is a plain
				array, not an object with an array inside it as is the default.</p>
			</div>

			<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
				<thead>
					<tr>
						<th>Name</th>
						<th>Position</th>
						<th>Office</th>
						<th>Extn.</th>
						<th>Start date</th>
						<th>Salary</th>
					</tr>
				</thead>

				<tfoot>
					<tr>
						<th>Name</th>
						<th>Position</th>
						<th>Office</th>
						<th>Extn.</th>
						<th>Start date</th>
						<th>Salary</th>
					</tr>
				</tfoot>
			</table>

			<ul class="tabs">
				<li class="active">Javascript</li>
				<li>HTML</li>
				<li>CSS</li>
				<li>Ajax</li>
				<li>Server-side script</li>
			</ul>

			<div class="tabs">
				<div class="js">
					<p>The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this example:</p><code class="multiline language-js">$(document).ready(function() {
	$('#example').dataTable( {
		&quot;ajax&quot;: {
			&quot;url&quot;: &quot;data/objects_root_array.txt&quot;,
			&quot;dataSrc&quot;: &quot;&quot;
		},
		&quot;columns&quot;: [
			{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;name&quot; },
			{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;position&quot; },
			{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;office&quot; },
			{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;extn&quot; },
			{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;start_date&quot; },
			{ &quot;data&quot;: &quot;salary&quot; }
		]
	} );
} );</code>

					<p>In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this example:</p>

					<ul>
						<li><a href="../../media/js/jquery.js">../../media/js/jquery.js</a></li>
						<li><a href="../../media/js/jquery.dataTables.js">../../media/js/jquery.dataTables.js</a></li>
					</ul>
				</div>

				<div class="table">
					<p>The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by DataTables:</p>
				</div>

				<div class="css">
					<div>
						<p>This example uses a little bit of additional CSS beyond what is loaded from the library files (below), in order to correctly display the table. The
						additional CSS used is shown below:</p><code class="multiline language-css"></code>
					</div>

					<p>The following CSS library files are loaded for use in this example to provide the styling of the table:</p>

					<ul>
						<li><a href="../../media/css/jquery.dataTables.css">../../media/css/jquery.dataTables.css</a></li>
					</ul>
				</div>

				<div class="ajax">
					<p>This table loads data by Ajax. The latest data that has been loaded is shown below. This data will update automatically as any additional data is
					loaded.</p>
				</div>

				<div class="php">
					<p>The script used to perform the server-side processing for this table is shown below. Please note that this is just an example script using PHP. Server-side
					processing scripts can be written in any language, using <a href="//datatables.net/manual/server-side">the protocol described in the DataTables
					documentation</a>.</p>
