Parse local JSON file with JavaScript in Webkit - Stack Overflow

文章数量:1420540

I am currently trying to parse a local JSON file on Webkit browsers and I am running into a couple issues.

var request = new XMLHttpRequest(); 
request.open('Get', 'file:///abc/test.json', false); 
var test = JSON.parse(request.responseText);

This however doesn't seem to work in Webkit Browsers (I am only testing on Webkit Browsers such as Chromium on ubuntu).

Could someone please help me point out what I might be doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

Edit: I noticed a bunch of responses indicate it isn't possible to use Ajax. Is there anything else I can use such as JQuery or do this?

The problem is that webkit doesn't allow ajax requests to file:/// So you have to use a http server which serves the site and the ajax response.

Have you tried launching chrome with --allow-file-access-from-files key?
Seems to be related with Problems with jQuery getJSON using local files in Chrome question and Local files doesn't load with Ajax bug report.
