I have json file mydata.json, and in this file is some json-encoded data.

I want obtain this data in file index.html and process this data in JavaScript. But a don't know how to connect.json file in .html file?

Tell me please. Here is my json file:

{
    "items": [
        {
            "movieID": "65086",
            "title": "The Woman in Black",
            "poster": "/kArMj2qsOnpxBCpSa3RQ0XemUiX.jpg"
        },
        {
            "movieID": "76726",
            "title": "Chronicle",
            "poster": "/853mMoSc5d6CH8uAV9Yq0iHfjor.jpg"
        }
    ]
} 

Thinking that I am getting json file from server, how to use that file in my html, so that I can display the data in tables in html page. I am using JavaScript to parse the json file. I am new to this field. Help out please.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"> </script>

<script>

    $(function() {


   var people = [];

   $.getJSON('people.json', function(data) {
       $.each(data.person, function(i, f) {
          var tblRow = "<tr>" + "<td>" + f.firstName + "</td>" +
           "<td>" + f.lastName + "</td>" + "<td>" + f.job + "</td>" + "<td>" + f.roll + "</td>" + "</tr>"
           $(tblRow).appendTo("#userdata tbody");
     });

   });

});
</script>
</head>

<body>

<div class="wrapper">
<div class="profile">
   <table id= "userdata" border="2">
  <thead>
            <th>First Name</th>
            <th>Last Name</th>
            <th>Email Address</th>
            <th>City</th>
        </thead>
      <tbody>

       </tbody>
   </table>

</div>
</div>

</body>
</html>

My JSON file:

{
   "person": [
       {
           "firstName": "Clark",
           "lastName": "Kent",
           "job": "Reporter",
           "roll": 20
       },
       {
           "firstName": "Bruce",
           "lastName": "Wayne",
           "job": "Playboy",
           "roll": 30
       },
       {
           "firstName": "Peter",
           "lastName": "Parker",
           "job": "Photographer",
           "roll": 40
       }
   ]
}

I succeeded in integrating a JSON file to HTML table after working a day on it!!!
