(1) there's no such thing as a jquery file, unless you're talking about a javascript holding jquery. (2) We don't know what functions you're talking about. (3) You just can't "alert an object", alerts take a string message, and object needs to be converted to a string first. If you replace getJSON with get you get to see the raw response instead of JSON. — Christian

I've to agree with the comments above — your question is more than vague! So I'm now only guessing if that's what you want:

$.getJSON('ajax/test.json', function(data) {
  alert(JSON.stringify(data));
});

You might have to required the JSON library for this to work: http://www.json.org/js.html
