I m using the below plugins ( GzDialog.js) ) that needed to load a JSON of dialogs.

```javascript
 preload() {
    this.load.json("scriptdata", "./assets/script.json");
  }

```

I got this error

```javascript
phaser.js:16099 Invalid JSON: scriptdata

```

I m just using the same JSON file as the author below… when i run his repo on phaser: “3.22.0”, there were no errors … I m on 3.55.2 at the moment …

```javascript
{
    "_description": "The script object contains a list of dialog responses for game characters. Top level properties reference the character doing the speaking. Child properties are the key name of the object spoken in response to.",
    "zeta": {
        "objectA": "Can't leave yet. I have a mission to complete.",
        "objectB": "Ow!",
        "labsign": "Hmm. This may be the entrance to the secret lab.",
        "sportmodel": "It's just a weather balloon. Nothing to see here.",
        "jello": "This old jalopy wouldn't get me to Alpha Centauri.",
        "tr3b": "Never seen this one before. Hmm, it says TR-3B.",
        "strawhat": "This one's a real classic. Aww. There's a big hole in the side. That's really going to wreck the resale value."
    }
}

```

Open the **Network** pane in browser dev tools, find `assets/script.json`, open that URL in the browser. What is it?
