jQuery. Assign JSON as a result to a variable

Question

I use this helper function to receive JSON results for my requests:

function getData(url) {
    $.get(url,
         function(data) {
             response =          


        

Answer 1

try this

function getData(url) {
var data;
    $.ajax({
        async: false, //thats the trick
        url: 'http://www.example.com',
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function(response){
           data = response;
        }
    });
    return data;
}
