    What you describe is how server-side processing works in DataTables.

    It is a post api and i have to get the data and sanatize it in a way it suitable for the table to under stand which is fine. but the prob is the api returns 20 records so when on pagination i have to render the next two records. i am a bit confused with whole syntax part. if you could help on it

    The documentation I linked to describes the API that DataTables uses for server-side processing. Basically you have to have the server expect that set of data, and then respond with the JSON parameters that DataTables expects.

    If it isn't possible to do that with your API you would need a proxy somewhere to translate between them.
