It looks like json.errors should be an array, right?
var json = {"errors":[]}
json.errors is an array...so $H(json.errors) is probably not what you want.
Try $A(json.errors);
You'll have to adjust your each as well...
$A(json.errors).each(function(err){
console.log(err.anError); //outputs "aMessage"
});
