why my function doesn't convert json file to array json

Question

showArray is a function witch show the content of json file, what's wrong in my function? why it doesn't work

function getArray() {
    var quest = [];
    $.getJSON('data.json', function (json) {
        for (var key in json) {
            if (json.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
                var item = json[key];
                quest.push({
                    Name:item.Name
                });
            }
        }
        callback(quest);
    });
}
$(document).ready(function () {
    getArray();
});
function showArray() {
    var callback = function (quest) {
        console.log(quest)
    }
}

Are you expecting the callback inside showArray to be called? It is scoped inside showArray so getJSON cannot access it. — loganfsmyth

callback is a local variable. You need to get it to the getArray() function, probably by passing it as a parameter.
