use javascript to read a link resource without ajax
- by user156153
Not sure if it's possible but how do I read a resource from a url using javascript without ajax?
for example, the following url is a static text file containing json encoded text
http://mysite.s3.amazonaws.com/jsonencodedcontent.txt
I'd like to use javascript to read the content from above link, read the json content into a javascript variable.
I can't use ajax because of cross site and I have no control over amazon S3 domain.
anyway to achieve this?
