DataTable handling different format of json

I am new to Datatables and trying to figure out this problem. I have a server which oupts json in certain format(see below).I cant change that on server side.

**Note: I am using link http://www.json-generator.com/j/cftupHnpbC?indent=4 to emulate my server response just for checking.

I have 2 problems

1 - Since My json response doesn't have aaData: thing required by dataTable, I cant seem to initiliaze it.
Even if I add aaData: by hand to json just for checking, dataTable cant count total records.
2 - How I can set that manually ?Since I cant change output from server.

<table id="example" class="display" width="100%">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th> </th>
      <th>ID</th>
      <th>Name</th>
      <th>Text</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody></tbody>
</table>

 
$(document).ready( function () {
