my javascript code to parse.

  name = JSON.parse(cooldrinkname);

       {
            "shopID" : "erer2123",
            "shoname" : "saravana store",
            "cooldrinkname" : "pepsi",

Your JSON is not an array, so you cannot assign it to an array. You should first parse the JSON to an object, then you can add the cooldrinkname to an array:

var myjson = '{ "shopID" : "erer2123", "shoname" : "saravana store", "cooldrinkname" : "pepsi", "cost" : "10" }';
var obj = JSON.parse(myjson);
var cooldrinknames = [];
cooldrinknames.push(obj.cooldrinkname);

try this and hope it helps

var myjson = '{ "shopID" : "erer2123", "shoname" : "saravana store", "cooldrinkname" : "pepsi", "cost" : "10" }';
var cooldrinknames = [JSON.parse(myjson)];
console.log(cooldrinknames); // to view object array in dev. console.

i am using a external .json file. so is there any way to parse an external .json file and store it in an array. – Hk M May 29 '13 at 08:01
well theres a couple of ways to get this you could ajax it in Ex. $.get $.post $.ajax or you could use the .load function to bring in your data. if you choose ajax you could have it parse for you and return the array if you use the .load you will have to parse in code like above. – Lewis E May 29 '13 at 08:12
