jquery getJSON issue

jquery getJSON issue

  2. is_loggedin: function () {
  3.             var status = false;
  4.             $.getJSON('/api/isloggedin/',function(res){
  5.                 if(res.user_status){status = true;}
  6.             });
  7.             return status;
  8.         }
in this case status returns always false. even user_status is true. what is wrong here? or should i re check my server-side.

thank you
