  Use ajax.data to change the format of the request sent to the server. Are you asking to change the format to JSON? If yes then see the last example in the ajax.data docs. Otherwise use ajax.data as a function to change to the desired format.

  As I said the last example in the ajax.data docs show how to convert the request to JSON. Here is the code from the example:

  new DataTable('#myTable', {
      ajax: {
          url: 'data.json',
          contentType: 'application/json',
          type: 'POST',
          data: function (d) {
              return JSON.stringify(d);
          }
      }
  });

  Thank you very much

  Can I send data looks like this ? (parameter request)

  new DataTable('#myTable', {
      ajax: {
          url: '.../pagination',
          type: 'GET',
          data: function (d) {
              return draw=1&columns[0].data=first_name&...
          }
      }
  });

  You will need to use ajax.data as a function to manipulate the original format sent to the server to the format you want. There is nothing built into Datatables to convert the default parameters to the format you want.
