Use HTML Table without headers

I've a table, where the normal guidance for HTML tables arn't followed.

My best move will be, to just create a proper JSON-object, and using that.

But i'll like to ask, if there is any options for parsing an HTML table, "without headers", and define them in Tabulator, instead.

I know the case id odd, but i'll just like to hear :-)

Example where no thead and th is in the HTML-source:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tbody>
        <tr height="16">
            <td colspan="16">
                Something
            </td>
            <td colspan="16">
                14
            </td>
            <td colspan="16">
                2020-01-28
            </td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

I solve problem like this

    <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
            <tr height="16" hidden>
                <td colspan="16">
                </td>
                <td colspan="16">
                </td>
                <td colspan="16">
                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr height="16">
                <td colspan="16">
                    Something
                </td>
                <td colspan="16">
                    14
                </td>
                <td colspan="16">
                    2020-01-28
                </td>
            </tr>
    </table>

Im afraid not.

When Tabulator is built on a table element, it parses the HTML to create a JavaScript object for each row of the table, using the column headers as property names.

Without headers it would have no reasonable way to map the column values onto an object.
