Hanlde null objects in retrieved AJAX data

When consifuring the table I get JSON data from server and have the colum data set as:

columns: [
{ data: "LatestStatusRecord.Status", className: 'dt-center', }
]

If there is no LatestStatusRecord i get error becuase LatestStatusRecord.Status will not exisit. What can I do to handle this error? Do I need to do it server side (create the object even if record not exisit) or can I do it the options?

ERROR received
*DataTables warning: table id=TaskTableInner - Requested unknown parameter 'LatestGanttRecord.PercentComplete' for row 0, column 5. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/4*

    Two options:

    1. Make sure that there is a LatestStatusRecord object, or
    2. Use a rendering function which will check it the object exists:
    data: null,
    render: function (data, type) {
      if (! data.LatestStatusRecord) {
        return '';
      }
      return data.LatestStatusRecord.Status;
    }

    I went with the render option.
    Thank you.
