    “on the same page” ? Do you mean “in the same directory” ? If so use

    $.get('json.txt'

    If this doesn’t work, I suggest using the long form to see what happens :

    $.ajax({
  url: 'json.txt',
  success: function(data){console.log(data)},
  error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {console.log(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)};
});

    So you can see in your console (ctrl+maj+i) the error (or the data).

    Another note : this can’t work if you’re opening the html file in file:// as the json would be considered coming from another domain. You must have an http server and open it in http://.
