If you have a permission correctly, you can get the file using

in favs.js:

var favs = [
    { url: 'http://google.com' },
    { url: 'http://stackoverflow.com' }
];

in script.js:

console.log(favs); // you can use favs as global variables

Otherwise, if you want to use ajax call such as $.getJSON(), you should have a webserver somehow.

Additionally, you can load js file dynamically. May you can use the code below for example:

function loadScript(path, onload) {
  var script = document.createElement('script');
  script.type = 'text/javascript';
  script.src = path;
  var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
  s.parentNode.insertBefore(script, s);
  if(onload) s.onload = onload;
}
