javascript - Converting JSON to have a new top-level wrapper -

i suspect using wrong terminology, please bear me.

i have been using mustache.js work json output of api. working sibling api has outlook looks similar, excepting there no top-level name. trying figure out how adjust new json output other format, such can continue using mustache.js approach (this seems easier of options, other being using other mustache.js, seeking avoid).

i can use mustache.js iterate on following json body using top-level name 'records':

{"records": [{"dt_created":"08/23/2013 04:49:13 pm","created_by":"x,   x","dt_updated":"08/23/2013 04:49:13 pm","updated_by":"x, x","field_60374":  ["project 67"],"field_60331":["ability adjust number of lines dynamically based on   mood of person 3 rows down, 4th cube, 11th building. breakthrough in mind-control   data processing."],"field_60333":   [{"id":"x","first":"x","last":"x"}],"field_60394":  [{"id":"x","first":"x","last":"x"}],"field_60414":["11"],"field_60375":  ["22"],"field_60395":["a"],"record_id":"1920704","form_id":"10898"}, {"dt_created":"08/23/2013 04:47:45 pm","created_by":"x, x","dt_updated":"08/23/2013 04:47:45 pm","updated_by":"x, x","field_60374":["project 2"],"field_60331":["very cool project allow more single invoice in erp @ 1 time. quite big leap forward."],"field_60333": [{"id":"x","first":"x","last":"x"}],"field_60394": [{"id":"x","first":"x","last":"x"}],"field_60414":["x,  x"],"field_60375":["60"],"field_60395": ["a"],"record_id":"1920703","form_id":"10898"}], "meta":{"total":2,"count":2} } 

the format can't iterate through, since missing top-level name, is:

[{"id":"x","user": {"id":"x","first_name":"x","last_name":"x"},"title":"test post 3","text":"this equally cool , enthralling post.","created_at":"2013-08-29t17:46:04.801z","updated_at":"2013-08-29t17:46:04.804z","num_comments":0,"num_likes":0}, {"id":"y","user":   {"id":"212342277","first_name":"x","last_name":"x"},"title":"test post 1","text":"super cool content want read!","created_at":"2013-08- 29t17:44:58.188z","updated_at":"2013-08-29t17:44:58.190z","num_comments":0,"num_likes":0}] 

i tried following massage second json example format of first:

$.ajax({      […….],      success: function(json_data){                         alert("success");                              var template=$('#listposts').html();                         var stuff = {"records":json_data}; //here                         var stuff = json.stringify(stuff); //here                         alert(stuff);                            //var html = mustache.to_html(template, json_data);                         var html = mustache.to_html(template, stuff);                         //$('.content-pane').empty();                                                                                                                                                        $('#listofpostscontainer').html(html);  } } 

i have alert pops in var 'stuff', , seems formatted first json example, mustache.js doesn't parse (i have verified mustache.js executes). before trying address other issues, wanted understand if how adding top-level name json array in above ajax call success attribute correct, or if have differently.

if missing explain this, let me know, can add it.
