You can use ES6 fetch API to load the request data and then render it.

fetch('http://example.com/movies.json')
  .then(function(response) {
    return response.json();
  })
  .then(function(myJson) {
    console.log(myJson);
  });

Here's a tutorial on fetch API: https://scotch.io/tutorials/how-to-use-the-javascript-fetch-api-to-get-data

Fetch is now supported in all modern browsers: https://caniuse.com/#feat=fetch
