Employee list not populating.

As far as I can tell, the code is exactly as the presenter has it. I'm using workspaces, and it didn't work with the all JS earlier either.

Hello,

I think that the error is from the URL path. The employees.json is located in another level folder (and not your current folder). You need then to specify ../ at the beginning of your file path.

var url="../data/employees.json";
