var getedTags = [];
$.get(getTagurl,
    function (data) {

        getedTags = data;

    });

Answer 1

You can use JSON.parse() from parse string to object.

var getedTags = [];
$.get(getTagurl,
function (data) {
    getedTags = JSON.parse(data);
});

Answer 2

You should convert the data you get from server into array. I presume the data type you are getting is JSON.

You can do JSON.parse(data) to convert in Object.
