If you're looking for something quick and dirty just load the data in the head of your HTML document.

data.js

var DATA = {"a" : "b", "c" : "d"};

index.html

   
   

...

main.js

(function(){
   console.log(DATA); // {"a" : "b", "c" : "d"}
})();

I should mention that your heap size (in Chrome) is about 4GBs, so if your data is larger than that you should find another method. If you want to check another browser try this:

window.performance.memory.jsHeapSizeLimit / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 + " GBs"
// "4.046875 GBs"
