Im struggling with grabbing json data from a URL and adding it to an array, i cant seem to construct the array correctly. Any advice would be great.

The sample JSON data im grabbing is from https://randomuser.me/

I forgot to ask. Does knockout require jquery to do stuff like this.

Is the array an observable? Are the items in the array observable?

If you have a collection of objects returned in your ajax, simply iterate the collection and push each into your array. If the array isn't observable, however, you won't see any UI update.
