How to Store JSON array and run it correctly

[Mudsaf]

Hello, i'm wondering how to store JSON array as javascript variable or something so visitor doesn't have to reload the file all the time.

 

Method getting JSON

<script>$(function() {$.getJSON('<myfolder/filename.js>', function(<something>) { /* store <something> */});});</script>

"so visitor doesn't have to reload the file all the time", that was badly told. I mean if the script runs more than once at same page.

You can store the result in a global variable, and if you need to access that information again then check if the variable exists first, or else load the file.

var response = null; function getStuff(){  if(!response){    $.getJSON('path/to/file', function(data){      response = data;    })  }   return response;}
