Deep, deep data

I am trying to map a JSON structure where a subarray of hashes determine the row. I suspect this is too complex, and that I will need to format the data for datatables server-side, but here goes. . .

Sample JSON:

{
    "arrayOuter": [{
        "name": "bob",
        "date": "today",
        "arrayInner": [{
            "hashInner0.0": "zero",
            "hashInner0.1": "one",
        }, {
            "hashInner1.0": "zero",
            "hashInner1.1": "one",
        }, { . . .

The table columns would then be:
| arrayOuter.name | arrayOuter.date | arrayInner.hashInner0.0 | arrayInner.hashInner0.1 |
| arrayOuter.name | arrayOuter.date | arrayInner.hashInner1.0 | arrayInner.hashInner2.1 |
| arrayOuter.name | arrayOuter.date | arrayInner.hashInner3.0 | arrayInner.hashInner3.1 |

I have tried several options, including sAjaxDataProp to set the source as arrayInner, but keep getting an error of:
"Cannot read property 'length' of undefined"

Is there any way for this JSON structure to map directly onto a datatables object?
