There is an alternative in AngularJS called $http, you can find more here. For instance :

$http({method: 'JSONP', url: 'http://domain.com/page?json_callback=JSON_CALLBACK'}).success(
    function(data, status) {
        // your stuff.
    }
);

Or even shorter :

$http.jsonp('http://domain.com/page?json_callback=JSON_CALLBACK').success(
    function(data, status) {
        // your stuff.
    }
);

JSONP (JSON Padding) allows you to get JSON data from another domain. However, the data you get should not be plain JSON, but rather a Javascript file like this :

JSON_CALLBACK([
    {"name": "apple", "color": "red"},
    {"name": "banana", "color": "yellow"}
]);

If your JSON data you need comes from the same domain, you do not need JSONP.
