Question

I have an external file people.json. How I can convert it to a javascript array with json syntax?
this is the people.json content:

{
"1":{
    "Name":"Jhon",
    "Surname":"Kenneth",
    "mobile":329129293,
    "email":"[e-mail]"
},
"2":{
    "Name":"Thor",
    "Surname":"zvalk",
    "mobile":349229293,
    "email":"[e-mail]"
},
"3":{
    "Name":"Mila",
    "Surname":"Kvuls",
    "mobile":329121293,
    "email":"[e-mail]"
}
}

I want an array with this format

var person = [
{ "name":"jhon" , "surname":"kenneth", "mobile":329129293, "email":"[e-mail]"}, 
{ "Name":"Thor", "Surname":"zvalk", "mobile":349229293, "email":"[e-mail]" }, 
{ "Name":"Mila", "Surname":"Kvuls", "mobile":329121293, "email":"[e-mail]"}
];

I tried with the next code, but it doesnt worker:

 var person;   
$.getJSON('people.json', function (json) {
person[]= json
});

By the way, the file contacts.json is in my server.

Try like this:

$.getJSON('people.json', function (json) {
    var people = [];
    for (var key in json) {
        if (json.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
            var item = json[key];
            people.push({
                name: item.Name,
                surname: item.Surname,
                mobile: item.mobile,
                email: item.email
            });            
        }
    }

    // at this stage the people object will contain the desired output
});
