load json into variable

Question

I have to do something very simple  but there doesn t seem to be an easy way to do this  as far as I can tell  I just want to load JSON data from a remote source and store it in a global Javascript variable using jQuery  Here s what I have   var my json    getJSON my url  function json      var my json   json        The my json variable remains undefined  I think this is clearly a scope issue  It seems to me the   getJSON method should return JSON  but it returns an XMLHttpRequest object  If I do this   request     getJSON my url   my json   request responseText evalJSON      That doesn t work because until the readystate    4  the responsetext remains null  It seems you have to use the callback function to return the responsetext  since it fires on success   It can t be this hard  Right

This will do it   var json    function          var json   null        ajax            async   false           global   false           url   my url           dataType    json            success   function  data                json   data                        return json           The main issue being that   getJSON will run asynchronously  thus your Javascript will progress past the expression which invokes it even before its success callback fires  so there are no guarantees that your variable will capture any data   Note in particular the  async   false option in the above ajax call  The manual says      By default  all requests are sent   asynchronous  i e  this is set to true   by default   If you need synchronous   requests  set this option to false    Note that synchronous requests may   temporarily lock the browser    disabling any actions while the   request is active
