jQuery Ajax GET JSON
It's possible that piece.json doesn't returns valid JSON so jQuery discards it. Try to change dataType: "json" to dataType: "html" and see if the alert(data) shows the output. If the alert shows your data then there's a syntax error in the json object.
This worked for me:
$.getJSON( "example.json", function(data) { console.log( "success" );}).done(function() { console.log( "second success" );}).fail(function() { console.log( "error" );}).always(function() { console.log( "complete" );});Replace example.json, with the url or path of your json file.Note the use of $.getJSON vs $get . Here's my reference: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.getjson/
Try changing the datatype to JSONP. It's usually to overcome the Same Origin Policy but may work in your case.
$.ajax({ url: '/piece.json', type: "GET", dataType: "jsonp", success: function (data) { alert(data); }});
