Javascript data - best format for speed

andrewtmendoza

When initializing DataTables using the Javascript data option, is it faster to provide data as a 2D array or an array of objects?

No difference.

The only difference I can think of would be that with objects there is more data to download (assuming you are loading the objects over HTTP rather than Javascript generating them), since the parameter names must be present for each parameter.
