Tip
External content is not loaded while editing a script. To test a script that loads external
content, you can do a preflight; see "Doing a Preflight" on page393.
loadjson(location)
Loads json data from the specified location.
location
String; the supplied location should be either a URL or a relative filepath. The file protocol
is supported as well as the http/https protocols. The complete syntax of a fully qualified
URL with the "file" protocol is: file://<host>/<path>. If the host is "localhost", it can be omitted,
resulting in file:///<path>, for example: file:///c:/somefolder/somejson.json.
