Hi, how to use a XML file for the datatables script? I see in some examples .txt-files that are used, but I want my XML to load in the datatable plugin with ajax.

Among many others. The search bar at the top might be useful.
You need to transform the XML to JSON. DataTables only accepts Javascript objects or HTML as data sources.
If you are Ajax loading your data use
fnServerData
to override the Ajax call and transform the data.
