It is possible to pass a delimited string as a dataSource??
Exemple:
var delimited = "COD;NAME;AGE\n";
delimited += "1;JOHN;30\n";
delimited += "2;Mary;23\n";
var pivot = $("#pivotContainer").flexmonster({
componentFolder: "/Content/js/flexmonster/",
toolbar: true,
report: {
dataSource: {
data: delimited
}
},

Hello Cleyton,
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Such approach is not available for the CSV strings now. We added your request to the customers wishlist. Right now, you can use such approach for the JSON objects (http://www.flexmonster.com/doc/json-data-source/). If you need to load CSV data you can do it with a file or with file url (http://www.flexmonster.com/doc/csv-data-source/).
Please let us know if it works for you.
Best regards,
Dmytro.

Flexmonster team, any update on this request. Since JSON is very verbose, having the ability to return CSV data and using it on the grid will be very helpful in reducing the size of the data being returned.

Hello, Ankit and Cleyton,
We would like to show you our new approach to reduce the size of the data being returned. Previously Flexmonster supported only array of objects JSON format. Starting from version 2.407, it is possible to use an array of arrays format. Please refer to the following example to see how it works: http://jsfiddle.net/flexmonster/scro38mr/.
We are waiting for your feedback.
Regards,
Tanya
