Description of problem:

I was using the columns.data() method in a draw callback, and it kept returning an object (possibly the column?) instead of a data array. I didn't realize my ajax source was invalid, and it took me a while to figure out why i was getting a random object. It'd be great if this method returned an empty array if there is no data, or if there was a note in the documentation for this method for when an array will not be returned. Thank you.

Use toArray() - column().data() returns an API instance, see here.
