Answer 1

For reading the external Local JSON file (data.json) using javascript, first create your data.json file:

data = '[{"name" : "Ashwin", "age" : "20"},{"name" : "Abhinandan", "age" : "20"}]';

1. Mention the path of the json file in the script source along with the javascript file.

2. Get the Object from the json file

   var mydata = JSON.parse(data);
   alert(mydata[0].name);
   alert(mydata[0].age);
   alert(mydata[1].name);
   alert(mydata[1].age);
