json retrieving

i thought we were not able to access json files or use AJAX without our website being on on a server first? how come i able to retrive this json data without my website running on a local server etc... im a bit confused about all of this. i understand the code involved, the callback functions, etc... but i dont understand some of the more basic stuff going on like where to find JSON files of my own so i can practice this outside of this example
