How to get an object from JSON?

Question

JavaScript

Good day. The task is to get an object from an external JSON file and save it to a variable:

var App = {
  blockElem: undefined,
  elem: undefined,
  data: undefined,
  init: function(str){
    this.blockElem = str;
    this.elem = document.getElementById(this.blockElem);
    this.getData();
    this.renderDefault();
    this.logInfo();
  },
  renderDefault: function(){
    this.elem.innerHTML = this.blockElem;
  },
  renderHead: function(){

  },
  getData: function(){
    this.data = $.getJSON('data.json');
  },
  logInfo: function(){
    console.log(this.data);
  },
}

This code does not return a pure object.
