Is it possible to set async:false to $.getJSON call

Question

Is it possible to set async: false when calling $.getJSON() so that the call blocks rather than being asynchronous?

Answer 1

You need to make the call using $.ajax() to it synchronously, like this:

$.ajax({   url: myUrl,   dataType: 'json',   async: false,   data: myData,   success: function(data) {     //stuff     //...   } }); 

This would match currently using $.getJSON() like this:

$.getJSON(myUrl, myData, function(data) {    //stuff   //... });
