Description

When making an Ajax request, there are times which you might wish to submit the data to the server as a JSON string. This is particularly useful in .NET which can easily parse the JSON for you, or in cases with values such as null are important. This option provides that ability.

This option matches the ajax.submitAs option in DataTables core, providing the same functionality, just in this case for the Editor Ajax interaction.

Please note that the provided PHP, .NET and Node.js server-side libraries for Editor do not expect this option to be set - they use the default http parameter method.
