Details

The object contains methods and properties for correct processing JSON data. Processing logic can be changed, which allows using custom tags for hierarchical data.

Since json is the default data type for Webix components, the datatype parameter is optional.

Component data can be loaded during initialization with datasource specified by the data property:

var json_data = [
        { id:1, title:"The Shawshank Redemption", year:1994, votes:678790 },
        { id:2, title:"The Godfather", year:1972, votes:511495 }
];
 
webix.ui({
    view:"datatable",
    columns:[..],
    data: json_data
});
