Title Body

I'm just starting to use javascript and json. I need to read data (getInformation function) from a json file when processing an event in a javascript function. So I need it to be synchronic. I don't know if I am missing something in the code, or if I have to create an Request and handle the callback, or if I need to import additional javascript to use json. Because I don't know how to make it work. It doesn't work because at the end the array is empty. Any help is aprreciated. The json file: {"Users": [ {"Name": "Jane", "Points": 67, "age": 23}, { "Name": "Sam", "Points": 65, "age": 21} ]} Option 1 - Function called by another function which is processing an event: var getInformation = function() { var path = "./data/users.json"; var informationArray= []; console.log("Loading ...."); $.getJSON(path, function(data) { $.each(data, function(key, val) { informationArray.push(key + '-' + val); }); }); return informationArray; } Option 2 - Function called by another function which is processing an event: var getInformation = function() { var path = "./data/users.json"; var informationArray= []; $.ajax({ url: path, async: false, dataType: 'json', success: function(response) { $.each(response.items, function(item) { informationArray.push(item); }); informationArray.push("success"); } }); return informationArray; } I have seen the following thread and tried what is there but doens't work for me. I would like to know where is the problem in my code or if require any special configuration. Thread: Is there a version of $get
