How do you read a file in the current directory using JQuery.getJSON()?
I’m trying something simple (with my data.json file in the same directory as my html file):
$.getJSON("./data.json")
and I get the error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///C:/Projects/test/data.json. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
I’ve tried all sorts of combinations of path, but it doesn’t seem to work…
EDIT: I’m using Chrome, but I’d like to work in all browsers…
If you are using Google Chrome, it is intentional that AJAX on
file:///paths never works.crbug/40787
