How to read an external local JSON file in JavaScript?

You cannot make a AJAX call to a local resource as the request is made using HTTP.

A workaround is to run a local webserver, serve up the file and make the AJAX call to localhost.

In terms of helping you write code to read JSON, you should read the documentation for jQuery.getJSON():

http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/
