–EDIT

 json file must be

{ "abc":"hello" }

Thank you for your advice :).

I found the error. Loaded the sample.json and compared to my own .json file.

The syntax of my abc.json file was wrong.

My code was working at all.

Edit: Ah, now you’ve seen it, too. :slight_smile: Thanks.

For future reference, if you’re editing JSON data by hand, it’s a good idea to use a validator like JSONLint (http://jsonlint.com/) to check that you don’t have any syntax errors.

Thanks, didn’t thought that for .JSON there is something like that. Used something similar always for HTML :).

If you are using editor like notepad++ or sublime text then there are also plugins for friendly formatting json files, if it will help you :slight_smile:
