title: Are .txt files and .json files equally good for storing javascript objects?
body: <p>Can I simply change the extension of a .json file to .txt without problems?</p>
  
  <p>My CMS' file permissions lock access to files with the .json extension. These permissions can't be changed right now. To get around this and still use javascript objects I've changed the extensions of my .json files to .txt. So far so good.</p>
  
  <p>Is this a reasonable solution or should I be worried about some unknown catastrophe in the future? </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>In the past I've also been able to load cross-domain .txt files using JSONP so I thought these two file formats might be fairly similar in storing js objects.</li>
  </ul>
