Question

I’m reading a JSON file with jQuery. If I update the file that .get() reads it still gets the old values when I read the newer file. Since I write and read the file every second, how can I solve this problem? Manually clearing the cache won’t be a option.

function readEye() {

    $.getJSON('output.json', function(data){

        console.log(data);

    });

}

Answer 1

use $.ajaxSetup settings

$.ajaxSetup({
  cache:false
});

after that you can use your code like

function readEye() {
  $.getJSON('output.json', function(data){
    console.log(data);
  });
}
