A tidy solution for using static JSON data

I'm developing a simple JavaScript (jQuery) slide show. I wanted to use JSON to store some some static parameters about the content of each slide.

Since I like to keep my data separate from my code, is there anyway to have JavaScript evaluate a .json file?

AJAX seems a bit overkill - it just needs to evaluate it at run-time, nothing is dynamic.

I could have a separate .js file that holds my JSON data as an object - but this seems messy.

So before I use one of the above solutions, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a cleaner way to have JavaScript evaluate a text file.

What's wrong with having a separate js file for your object? It has to live somewhere. I agree ajax is overkill, but I'm at a loss for why you think a JavaScript object in a .js file is messy.
