title: jQuery. Assign JSON as a result to a variable
body: <p>I use this helper function to receive JSON results for my requests:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function getData(url) {
      $.get(url,
           function(data) {
               response = data;
               return response;
           }, 'application/json');
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I give it some string as a part of url from my web application, like '/api/getusers', so it looks like <code>getData('/api/getusers')</code>. Now I need that string result containing JSON data that I receive from the url to be assigned to my variable, so it would look like this: <code>var result = getData('/api/getusers')</code>. Then I will process this JSON data. The problem is with the returning the response variable. It's undefined. Thanks!</p>
