As someone who is new to the world of Javascript and web development, I have been grappling with the challenge of parsing a JSON file that is located on my computer. Initially, I tried to use jQuery's getJSON function, but unfortunately, it didn't seem to do the trick. I then came across suggestions to use XMLHttpRequest, but because the file is local, neither method seemed to work for me. I am now seeking advice on the proper approach to take before resorting to JSON.parse(). Despite researching extensively on this topic, I have yet to come across a solution that avoids utilizing the http protocol.
