Getting JSON values?

Question

Hello :)

I have a resjson file called settings.resjson contains

{
    "FirstTimeLoad" : "1",
   "Name":"value2"
}

and i made a page called welcome.html.. what i want to do is make this page check if the applications opens for the first time redirect to the settings.html page, if not redirects to default.html

with JavaScript it means accessing the settings.resjson and check if FirstTimeLoad is 1 so it can redirects to settings.html and in settings page i will have to set the value to 0 so next load for the app will redirect directly to default.html

I don't know how to do it, after a pretty long search in the Learn section i got nothing.. Any possible solution ? Thanks :-)

Hi Ahmed,

I have a solution but it does not involve your file.  You must use the application settings.  Application settings are designed to store your... application settings!  This should be the way you store your settings.  You would need to decide if you want this to be a local setting or a roaming setting depending on your application requirements.

This link should get you started:
