title: Datatable with static json data source
body: <p>I am trying to create a datatable with static data in json format without getting the json source data by hitting the server through ajax request.
  Tried hard to find a way to do it, but no luck.Is it possible to do it with static json data variable as shown below,</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;!doctype html&gt;
  &lt;html lang="en"&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
    &lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;jQuery DataTable&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery-ui.css"&gt;
    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="demo_table_jui.css" /&gt;
    &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css" /&gt;
    &lt;script src="jquery-1.10.2.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script src="jquery-ui.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="complete.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.dataTables.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  
  
    &lt;script&gt;
    $(function() {
    var jsonData = [{"userID":"1","userName":"name1"},{"userID":"2","userName":"name2"},{"userID":"3","userName":"name3"}];
   $('#example').dataTable({
    data: jsonData,
        columns: [
            { data: 'userID' },
            { data: 'userName' }
        ]
   });
  
    });
    &lt;/script&gt;
  
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  
  &lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="example" align="center"&gt;
   &lt;thead&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
     &lt;th&gt;UserID&lt;/th&gt;
     &lt;th&gt;userName&lt;/th&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
   &lt;/thead&gt;
   &lt;tbody&gt;
  
   &lt;/tbody&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
