Question

There was an example of reading jsonp request in jquery given in stackoverflow. This below code works fine.

$(document).ready(function() {
   var url =  "http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/codinghorror.json";
   $.getJSON(url + "?callback=?", null, function(tweets) {
    for(i in tweets) {
        tweet = tweets[i];
        $("#tweet-list").append(tweet.text + "<hr />");
    }
   });
});

I uploaded the json file into a temp webserver with url being http://cruzer.net76.net/twitter.json

But my json doesn’t seemed to get parsed and the browser shows no errors/warnings.

Any help..

Your code as-is works: http://jsfiddle.net/vWRAw/

The json being returned from your temp-webserver however is JSON and not JSONP. If you want to request it as JSON, remove the ?callback=? however that would mean your temp webserver would need to be on the same domain as the page making the request.
