Hello Sanjiv,

In general, the Grid itself can be bound via its [data] input property to an array or object of type GridDataResult:

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/data-binding/

Binding the Grid to a json file directly isn't a supported feature. Instead what should be done is to convert the json file to a variable that can be further passed to the Grid. Please check some of the online available resources on the topic demonstrating how to load a local JSON file into a variable in JavaScript:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14484613/load-local-json-file-into-variable

Please note that the [data] input property of the Grid supports only one level arrays or objects of type GridDataResult, where the data property is supposed to be a one level array.

In case there are more levels of arrays then the Grid won't be able to represent the data as desired. Thus, I would suggest reconstructing the data so that it consists of a single array level and then define the desired Grid columns.

Martin
