Dealing w/ Large JSON Files

We're leveraging DataTables to consume a single json file containing static code analysis results, which can grow quite quickly (in some cases 10+ MB). This is achieved leveraging the "ajax" parameter w/in DataTables...code can be found here:
https://github.com/ninp0/csi/blob/master/lib/csi/reports/scapm.rb#L149
Needless to say when the json file is large it takes quite a long time for the DataTables UI to load (in the event it ever loads). Is there a way to load the JSON file incrementally (based upon pagination) or consume multiple smaller json files which can then be incrementally displayed? I hope this question makes sense (as I'm not thoroughly caffeinated yet).
