You have to open chrome using the following flag Go to run menu and type "chrome --disable-web-security --user-data-dir"

Make sure all the instances of chrome are closed before you use the flag to open chrome. You will get a security warning that indicates CORS is enabled.

This issue is not happening in Firefox and Safari  Make sure you are using the latest version of xml2json js  Because i faced the XML parser error in IE  In Chrome best way you should open it in server like Apache or XAMPP

Adding to  Kirill Fuchs excellent solution and answering  StackUser s doubt - while starting the http-server  set the path till the app folder only  NOT till the html page   http-server C  location to app and access index html under app folder

My problem was resolved just by adding http    to my url address  for example I used http   localhost 3000 movies instead of localhost 3000 movies

This error is happening because you are just opening html documents directly from the browser  To fix this you will need to serve your code from a webserver and access it on localhost  If you have Apache setup  use it to serve your files  Some IDE s have built in web servers  like JetBrains IDE s  Eclipse     If you have Node Js setup then you can use http-server  Just run npm install http-server -g and you will be able to use it in terminal like http-server C  location to app

If for whatever reason you cannot have the files hosted from a webserver and still need some sort of way of loading partials  you can resort to using the ngTemplate directive    This way  you can include your markup inside script tags in your index html file and not have to include the markup as part of the actual directive   Add this to your index html   lt script type  text ng-template  id  tpl-productColour  gt    lt div class  list-group-item  gt       lt h3 gt Hello  lt em class  pull-right  gt Brother lt  em gt  lt  h3 gt   lt  div gt   lt  script gt    Then  in your directive   app directive  productColor   function           return             restrict   E     Element Directive             template   tpl-productColour            templateUrl   tpl-productColour

If you are using this in chrome chromium browser ex  in Ubuntu 14 04   You can use one of the below command to tackle this issue    ThinkPad-T430    google-chrome --allow-file-access-from-files ThinkPad-T430    google-chrome --allow-file-access-from-files fileName html  ThinkPad-T430    chromium-browser --allow-file-access-from-files ThinkPad-T430    chromium-browser --allow-file-access-from-files fileName html   This will allow you to load the file in chrome or chromium  If you have to do the same operation for windows you can add this switch in properties of the chrome shortcut or run it from cmd with the flag  This operation is not allowed in Chrome  Opera  Internet Explorer by default  By default it works only in firefox and safari  Hence using this command will help you   Alternately you can also host it on any web server  Example Tomcat-java NodeJS-JS Tornado-Python  etc  based on what language you are comfortable with  This will work from any browser

RootCause   File protocol does not support cross origin request for Chrome  Solution 1   use http protocol instead of file  meaning  set up a http server  such as apache  or nodejs http-server  Sotution 2   Add --allow-file-access-from-files after Chrome s shortcut target  and open new browse instance using this shortcut    Solution 3   use Firefox instead

The Reason  You are not opening the page through a server  like Apache  so when the browser tries to obtain the resource it thinks it is from a separate domain  which is not allowed  Though some browsers do allow it   The Solution  Run inetmgr and host your page locally and browse as http   localhost portnumber PageName html or through a web server like Apache  nginx  node etc   Alternatively use a different browser No error was shown when directly opening the page using Firefox and Safari  It comes only for Chrome and IE xx     If you are using code editors like Brackets  Sublime or Notepad    those apps handle this error automatically
