malformed JSON while JSON is valid?
<script> $(document).ready(function() { $.getJSON("employe.json", function(data) { document.write(data.employees[0].firstName); }); });</script>Or instead of document write
alert( data.employees[0].firstName);Odds are you are going to want $.each iteration
<script> $(document).ready(function() { $.getJSON("employe.json", function(data) { $.each(data.employees, function(arrayID, employee) { alert(employee.firstName); }); }); });</script>
