如何从外部文件（如.txt）正确将数据加载到Javascript数组

Question

I want to load some data to the page using Javascript.

The easiest way for me is to use js Array, like below:

phones = ["14 211 122", "11 212 131", "666 132 123"];

But I feel that I shouldn't keep this kind of data in .js file. I think it should be in a separate, easier to access and edit file like .txt.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if loading data from .txt will be secure?

What should I use? Some kind of jQuery .load()? What do you suggest?

Thanks for help!

Answer 1

You can use something like :

var data;
$.ajax({url: 'values.txt'}).done(function(d) { 
    //assuming values.txt is formatted like : 1,2,3,4,5,6;
    data = JSON.parse('[' + d + ']');
});

However I'd recommend just storing the javascript directly instead of having to reparse it like that.
