title: Getting data from the $.getJSON() method
body: <p>I'm writing a web application and need to initialize some parameters that I'm pulling via the $.getJSON() method. </p>
  
  <pre><code>$.getJSON("../config/", function(data)
  {
       console.debug(data);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now since these values will be used globally throughout the script and will not be triggering an event directly (which is the only implementation of $.getJSON() I could find in the documentation), how can I returning or retrieve this callback data?</p>
