Package: DT2 0.1.2

DT2: 'DataTables' 2.x for R

A modern R binding for 'DataTables' V2 with modular extension loading, 'Bootstrap 5' styling, 'Shiny' integration (proxy, events, inline inputs), server-side processing helpers, and standalone (non-Shiny) support. Configure 'DataTables' options directly via R lists, a 1:1 mapping to the 'JavaScript' API.
