 document.write(value);

I want to write my value outside of the $.getJSON. How can I array my value?

The problem is in your way to write this JSON result. To be clear, $.getJSON is an asynchronous request, so your line 2 (value=results) will be executed after your line 4 ( document.write(value) ).

To solve, try something like this:

$.getJSON("www.someurl.com/", function(results){
   value = results;
   document.write(value);
});

Got it?
