You can do it like... Just give the proper path of your json file...
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="abc.json"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
function load() {
var mydata = JSON.parse(data);
alert(mydata.length);
var div = document.getElementById('data');
for(var i = 0;i < mydata.length; i++)
{
div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML + "<p class='inner' id="+i+">"+ mydata[i].name +"</p>" + "<br>";
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="load()">
<div id= "data">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Simply getting the data and appending it to a div... Initially printing the length in alert.
Here is my Json file: abc.json
data = '[{"name" : "Riyaz"},{"name" : "Javed"},{"name" : "Arun"},{"name" : "Sunil"},{"name" : "Rahul"},{"name" : "Anita"}]';
