No "public" API for ajax related functions

RoyLing

When I dive into the source code of DataTables, there are a lot of "private" functions defined for ajax related, which have a name starting with _.
As naming convention, suppose they are "private" only, right?
If I use them in my application, what should I pay special attention to?

Is there the alternative "public" API for ajax?

Thanks!

Correct

Upgrading. There is a very decent chance that private variables / names might change between versions.

What exactly are you trying to do that can't be done with the public API? With fnServerData and fnServerParams you can define the Ajax call and the data sent. With fnInitComplete you get the initial load data, with the `xhr` event you get told when the Ajax event occurs and with the fnReloadAjax plug-in you can force a reload.

Thanks Allan for suggesting the public APIs, I will try them out and see if they could address all my issues.
