Question

Is it possible to get a JSON in jQuery synchronously without using the async: false option (which apparently has been deprecated)? I also would prefer not to put everything into the success function.

Answer 1

No, there is no other option than async: false. I wouldn’t recommend it if there were.

For the success function, you can simply pass another function that will be executed.

For example:

$.ajax( {
    url: myUrl,
    type: 'POST',
    success: myFunc
} );

function myFunc( datas ) {
    // do what you should do in a success function
}
