How To Read a JSON File With JavaScript

In order to read a JSON file with JavaScript you need to make a network request to the file that contains your JSON data.

It's not quite as easy as just 'requiring' a file like you would do with NodeJS or using a commonJS import in your browser. Therefore, reading a JSON file with JavaScript is very much like making a call to an API endpoint and you'll need a tool to do this.

This was how to read a json file with Chrome developer tools. The title was how to read a json file with javascript. I was thinking with javascript on a web page I've created. I'm not sure what benefit i can have only being able to read json info from the console and not actual applying it to an HTML page unless i just want to hack info off the page. I guess I can verify my json page works..
