$.getJSON not working with local JSON file

Question

I am desperately trying to get a local build of a site to get a JSON file (also local) with no luck. The exact code worked perfect on my server, but once local, breaks.

Answer 1

JSON has to load over the HTTP protocol rather than the local file protocol.

The cross domain complaint is that it'll treat each file as a different domain so you need to run it in a web server.

either set up a local webserver or store your JSON in a variable instead and skip getJSON altogether.
