loadJSONArray()

Loads an array of JSON objects from the data folder or a URL, and returns a JSONArray. Per standard JSON syntax, the array must be enclosed in a pair of hard brackets [], and each object within the array must be separated by a comma.

All files loaded and saved by the Processing API use UTF-8 encoding.

• // The following short JSON file called "data.json" is parsed 
  // in the code below. It must be in the project's "data" folder.
  
  /*

   {
   "id": 0,
   "species": "Capra hircus",
   "name": "Goat"
   },
   {
   "id": 1,
   "species": "Panthera pardus",
   "name": "Leopard"
   },
   {
   "id": 2,
   "species": "Equus zebra",
   "name": "Zebra"
   }
