getJSON doesn't work

objecten.js

    var data = [ {
            image: '开发者_如何学Cgallery/objecten/bear.jpg',
            thumb: 'gallery/objecten/bear.jpg',
            title: 'my first image',
            description: 'Lorem ipsum caption',
            link: 'http://example.com'
        }
        ];

In my main js file I am doing the following:

  $.getJSON("gallery/objecten/objecten.js",function(data) {
                $.each(data, function(key, value) {
                    alert("hello?");
                });
          });

The alert doesn't work, so what's wrong?

Your json is malformed. Despite of the format, you should not have a var declaration. It should be:

objecten.js

[{
    "image":"gallery/objecten/bear.jpg",
    "thumb": "gallery/objecten/bear.jpg",
    "title": "my first image",
    "description": "Lorem ipsum caption",
    "link": "http://domain.com"
}]

Note that strings and property names in json must be enclosed with "

To see more about the json "format" and its encoding rules see http://json.org

Hope this helps. cheers

object.js does not contain json

[{
        "image": "gallery/objecten/bear.jpg",
        "thumb": "gallery/objecten/bear.jpg",
        "title": "my first image",
        "description": "Lorem ipsum caption",
        "link": "http://domain.com"
}]

Edited - I removed the parentheses that wrapped it, not sure why I put them in I guess I was looking at the example on http://docs.jquery.com/GetJSON which points to a flickr json page that uses parentheses. Works now.
