It's a common issue of Azure Website which be lack of the mimetype setting for static json file, please refer to the blog. You just need to add the configurate below into your web.config file under wwwroot.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <staticContent>
            <mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
     </staticContent>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Then it works via your browser.
