Parse local JSON file with jQuery and Javascript

Question

I\'m trying to parse a JSON file located on my computer. I want to parse it. The JSON file has this structure:

{
  \"sites\": {
    \"site\": [
      {
              


        

Answer 1

I don't think you need to parse the json. It will automatically parse the json since you are using $.getJSON().

Answer 2

getJSON will parse it for you.

Just remove the var obj = $.parseJSON(json); line (since that will stringify the object and try to parse it as JSON (which it won't be)).
