How to work with table fields that have JSON formatted data using server-side processing.

Hi,

So ... I have a table field that has content formatted in JSON form e.g.

{
"industry":"Industry 2",
"institution":"University Number 2",
}

And I am using server-side processing successfully on the normal fields and it works fine. Question, does dataTables have built in solutions to handle fetching of information from such fields?

The ability to digest data in this kind of format is a new feature in DataTables 1.8 (currently in beta) and is discussed at length (with examples :-) ) here: http://datatables.net/blog/Extended_data_source_options_with_DataTables
