Answer 1

I have found the problem. I was parsing the json in the wrong way.

$.ajax({
    url:"https://s3.amazonaws.com/myBucket/myfile.json",
    type:"GET",
    success:function(data) {
            console.log(data.property)
    }
})

Instead this works:

$.ajax({
    url:"https://s3.amazonaws.com/myBucket/myfile.json",
    type:"GET",
    success:function(data) {
        var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
        if(typeof obj =='object'){
            console.log(obj.property)
        }
    }
})

Change Metadata 'Value' in Key:Value pair to 'Application/json' from file properties, in AWS S3 console.

To avoid parsing json use dataType property of ajax, Here we are expecting response as json so
dataType: "json" will automatically parse the json for you and can be accessed directly without JSON.parse(), in Success function body.

$.ajax({
        url:"https://s3.amazonaws.com/myBucket/myfile.json",
        type:"GET",
        dataType: "json",    // This line will automatically parse the response as json
        success:function(data) {
            var obj = data;
            if(typeof obj =='object'){
                console.log(obj.property)
            }
        }
    })

dataType - is you telling jQuery what kind of response to expect. Expecting JSON, or XML, or HTML, etc. In our case it was JSON.
