Tiny module for getting JSON from a URL as a promise. Will only work where the XMLHttpRequest exists, which is not native in e.g. nodejs. It also does not include any promise library - so it may not work in older browsers.

npm require --save get-json-promise

var jsonPromise = require('get-json-promise');

var url = 'http://localhost:8080/package.json';

jsonPromise(url).then(function(data) {
    console.log(data);
    // Returns object JSON.parse 
});

Example in a HTML page:
