                        <h1>Preamble</h1>
                        <p>By default, DataTables will expect an array of arrays for its data source, with each cell in the table being exactly described in the data source. However, this can often be quite limiting, or not suitable for a particular data source, so it is possible to specify which property of a source object that DataTables should read for each column. In this example the Ajax source returns an array of objects (one object for each row), and will then read the required property for each column.</p>

33	DataTables AJAX source example - array of objects as a data source
34	</div>
35
36	<h1>Preamble</h1>
37	<p>By default, DataTables will expect an array of arrays for its data source, with each cell in the table being exactly described in the data source. However, this can often be quite limiting, or not suitable for a particular data source, so it is possible to specify which property of a source object that DataTables should read for each column. In this example the Ajax source returns an array of objects (one object for each row), and will then read the required property for each column.</p>
