Use server-side json with Highchart

Question

I've searched for a few hours and looked for tons of examples, but in the end noting has worked for me.
My problem: I want to use a server-side json for a Line-Highchart. In the examples, which I've found the json comes either from a database or in an already preformated json-file.
For my use case it looks like the following: I want to visualize the value "depending" on their timestamp.

sampleData.json

[{
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T02:15:00+02:00",
    "value": 235.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T02:30:00+02:00",
    "value": 234.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T02:45:00+02:00",
    "value": 234.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T03:00:00+02:00",
    "value": 234.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T03:15:00+02:00",
    "value": 234.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T03:30:00+02:00",
    "value": 234.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T03:45:00+02:00",
    "value": 234.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T04:00:00+02:00",
    "value": 234.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T04:15:00+02:00",
    "value": 234.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T04:30:00+02:00",
    "value": 235.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T04:45:00+02:00",
    "value": 235.0
}, {
    "timestamp": "2014-05-22T05:00:00+02:00",
    "value": 235.0
}]

This json file is read by my getData.php

<?php
// It reads a json formatted text file and outputs it.
$json_o = file_get_contents("sampledata.json");
echo $json_o;
?>

The output looks exactly like the input, so exactly like the sampleData.json itself.

Now I use my highchart.html to create a Highchart.

                                load : requestData

                        title: {
                            text: 'Line Chart'
                        },
                        xAxis: {
                            type: 'datetime',
                            minRange: 1 * 24 * 3600000 // one day

  <body></body>
</html>

I've also put all of it in a JsFiddle (unfortunately with a "XMLHttpRequest cannot load"-Error) but maybe it is useful: http://jsfiddle.net/ft8hc/1/

Now we come to my actual questions:

Until now I get no data into my Chart. Although it is created, but there is no data loaded. The json itself is loaded - alert(data) shows me the sampleData.json.
Although I've looked through existing examples, I could not figured out, how to define the attributes, which should be used to draw the line and the axes. For me timestamp and value should be used.
Additionally I am not sure, if the json Format is the right one that can be used by Highchart. Is it okay like this or do I have to parse it differently?

Would be absolutely awesome if someone could help me. I've tried it for hours without success :-(

Answer 1

This is because you have no data specified in your chart definition. See:

series : [{
          name : 'Random data',
           data : [0]
         }]

Upon getting the JSON data, you must PUSH that data into this Series.data and generate the chart thereafter. You can refer to this solution : https://stackoverflow.com/a/8169187/3660930

Answer 2

您的json应该-使用值x / y代替您的自定义名称-日期应为时间戳记（时间以毫秒为单位）[数字类型]-值应为数字
