Loading local JSON file

Question

var json = $.getJSON("test.json");
var data = e

If you are using a local array for JSON - as you showed in your example in the question (test.json) then you can is the parseJSON() method of JQuery ->

var obj = jQuery.parseJSON('{"name":"John"}');
alert( obj.name === "John" );

getJSON() is used for getting JSON from a remote site - it will not work locally (unless you are using a local HTTP Server)
