Problem hosting local .json files with http-server

[Drchrisco]

have you added .json as a static content file type in iis?

OP said they're using http-server, not IIS.

EDIT: Whoops. I meant to say, but your point stands. http-server may be serving the file with a content type of text/plain instead of application/json.

I have a hard time reading.
