title: Parse External JSON File with jQuery
body: <p>I have a 2 MB JSON object that I'm hoping to parse with jQuery. I dumped the whole object into a file named "timeline.js" and I'm hoping to parse through it as a dataset to grab records as needed.</p>
  
  <p>My dataset started as an XML file, but I read that JSON would be more efficient as I'm using jQuery to pull the data and place it in the DOM.</p>
  
  <p>Below is the first record of my object. How would I parse this object to grab the record with a 'profileid' of 1016? </p>
  
  <pre><code>{
  timeline:{
      record:[
          {
              profileid:1016,
