Using A JSON Object In HighCharts

I am new to HighCharts and I am trying to figure out how to read a local JSON object into my stacked bar graph in HighCharts. I believe I wrote the series and categories but for so

Solution 1:

Calling via external json file See Plunker demo

function get_chart() {
var options =   {
    chart: {
        type: 'column',
        renderTo:'container'
    },
    title: {
        text: 'Twitter Data'
    },
    xAxis: {
        categories: []
    },

    plotOptions: {
        series: {
            stacking: 'normal',
            dataLabels: {
                enabled: true,
                style: {
                    textShadow: '0 0 3px black'
                }
            }, point: {
                events: {
                    click: function () {
                        alert('Category: ' + this.category + ', value: ' + this.y);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

    },

    series: []

}; 
$.getJSON("results.json", function(json) {
    options.xAxis.categories = json[0]['data'];
    options.series[0] = json[1];
    options.series[1] = json[2];
    chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
   });
  }
  get_chart(); //call this get_chart function in your controller where you want, I called it here.
