Question

i want to save each json response in an array i did write like this

$(document).ready(function () {
   var saveJson = [];
   var jsonResponse = getjsonResponse()
                      //something with $get function response json format 
   saveJson = saveToArray(jsonResponse.SearchResults);

   var saveToArray = function(array){
       $.each(array,function(i,data){
           saveJson.push(data);
       });
   };
});

but seems to be my code does not work saveJson getting undefined how can i overcome this? simply i want to append json response to one array object.

my sample response look like

    "SearchResults":[
          {
             "TypeFlag":"W",
             "HashCode":"66093013",
             "ShortenKey":"http:///k",

Answer 1

function(array){
    $.each(array,function(i,data){
        saveJson.push(data);
    });
};

returns undefined. Although you push data into saveJson, your “saveJson = saveToArray(jsonResponse)” re-assign the saveJson as undefined.

You might have :

function(array){
    var ret = [];
    $.each(array,function(i,data){
        ret.push(data);
    });
    return ret;
};
