jQuery DataTables is a very valuable plugin that can be used when displaying records fetched from a database. It includes several functions that are useful. Without this plugin, we will have to implement those functions from scratch. This plugin makes our work easy. It provides us search function, pagination and counting records for us. Only need to link and insert the jQuery code to use this.
