Actually, you are looking for the AJAX CALL, in which you will replace the URL parameter value with the link of the JSON file to get the JSON values.

$.ajax({
    url: "File.json", //the path of the file is replaced by File.json
    dataType: "json",
    success: function (response) {
        console.log(response); //it will return the json array
    }
});
