jQuery Multiple getJSON requests

Question

My script needs to fetch several json files on https://graph.facebook.com/xxxx, and retrieve a certain field from each json, then calculate summation.

My problem is

Answer 1

Using jQuery 1.5 deferred objects:

Accumulate an array of the JQXHR objects returned by $.getJSON()

var jxhr = urls.map(function(url) {
    return $.getJSON(url, function(json) {
        result += json.field1;
    })
});

and only $.when they're all .done():

$.when.apply($, jxhr).done(function() {
    alert(result);
});

NB: this will accumulate result in the order that the AJAX calls complete, not in the order they're made.
