Out of the box, it looks like server-side processing will generate ajax calls that may look like this:
?draw=1&columns[0][data]=someColumnXYZ&columns[0][name]=&columns[0][searchable]=true&columns[0][orderable]=true&columns[0][search][value]=&columns[0][search][regex]=false
I'm interested in whether this information can be sent as JSON instead for easier processing on server side. For reference, I am looking to process these with a Java backend (Spring MVC). Having to parse this information manually seems quite inelegant. Is there a better way?
