Question

Answer 1

You can get your json local file doing a normal ajax call, with some caveats (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy, or jQuery's .getJSON using local files stopped working on Firefox 3.6.13, fwiw)

But it should definitely be possible to do:

$.getJSON('page.json', function(data) {
    /* do something with each item in data */
});
