json using jquery
<p>I have a json file. Now I want to read it contents using jquery. One way is to use $.getJSON() method and there some other jquery json methods which could be used but these methods will send request to the server and read the contents and send the contents to the client. Is it possible to read .json file contents without sending request to the server?</p>

<p>Here is my menu.json file which is basically taken from json.org example. I need this for simple demo purpose.</p>

<pre><code>{
    "menu": {
        "id": "file",
        "value": "File",
        "popup": {
            "menuitem": [
                {"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"},
                {"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"},
                {"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"}
            ]
        }
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p><strong>Update</strong></p>

<p>menu.json file is in my file system like this</p>

<pre><code>projectfolder/
    index.html
    menu.json
</code></pre>
