I’m working on a serverless web app – JS + jQuery, CSS, HTML in a flat file – and I want to make a GET request to pickup some JSON data.
The only method I’ve seen is through AJAX-y methods which require the use of a backend server to handle sending the REST request… but I don’t have a backend server.
How can I do this, all from within on JS script/file?
