I called an external JSON file and it worked as expected, but when I downloaded the file and called it locally, it didn't work. I guess it has something to do with application/json mime type not set in case of the local file. How can I set the mime type?

$.getJSON(url, function(data) { //works
$.getJSON(local, function(data) { //doesn't

add your serverside code script then only we can get idea – Haresh Vidja Aug 17 '16 at 10:47
"it didn't work" - could you elaborate? – freedomn-m Aug 17 '16 at 10:47
Are you running something like: `$.getJSON("C:\temp\file.json", ...` ? – freedomn-m Aug 17 '16 at 10:48

to load a JSON file locally you need have a local web server, like `grunt-connect` or `lite-server` – sadrzadehsina Aug 17 '16 at 10:48
