way to save Json response in to array

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",
             "Title":"Yahoo! \u003cspan class=\"search-result-highlight\"\u003eSearch\u003c/span\u003e - Web \u003cspan class=\"search-result-highlight\"\u003eSearch\u003c/span\u003e",

          },
         {
             "TypeFlag":"W",
             "HashCode":"48394089",
             "ShortenKey":"http:///5i",

             "PageRank":10,
             "ThumbImageUrl":""
      }
]

Your code does not really make sense. You assign a function jsonResponse and then pass it to saveToArray, treating the function as array. If you are actually calling the a function to get the response, I assume you make an Ajax request. Ajax is asynchronous. You have to use a callback that handles the response. I suggest you have a look at some Ajax examples. — Felix Kling

What does getjsonResponse do? If ithas an async request, you need a callback function to process it. (not just assume it's loaded on the next line) — tcooc

@digitalFresh it's jquery $get function getting json format response — Gayan

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;
};

Your JSON is not an array, you actually have an object containing an array in "SearchResults", so you have to pass that on instead of the entire object:

saveJson = saveToArray(jsonResponse.SeachResults); //change this line

(assuming jsonResponse is defined)
