Copying AJAX JSON object into existing Object

Try this using extend():

var newObject = jQuery.extend({}, oldObject);

Alternative without jQuery is to use the javascript Object.assign method.

Object.assign(targetObject, json);

You can use jQuery.extend: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.extend/

$.extend(object1,object2);

If your JSON is a string then create an object from that first:

var object1=$.parseJSON(myJsonString);
