Having Trouble Linking to Files for JS in Max
Jun 27 2022 | 6:19 pm
I'm working on a Masters thesis at the moment where I am using javascript to use spectral metadata to compare between files to test for a number of criteria. I'm currently storing the metadata as arrays in local JSON files. I want to be able to link to the local JSON files, but I can't find any proper documentation on the idea bizarrely and I don't know the proper syntax to link to a local file. If anybody could lend a hand with how to link to the files and pull data from them, or even a helpful link, I would much appreciate it!
All the best!
