Is there a way to load a json file along with all the other js files?

I"m wondering if there's a way to load a JSON file without having to use
AJAX with jQuery. I already have the json file in the folder, so it would
seem a bit wasteful to load the file after everything else is loaded with
AJAX. My folders look like this:
css/
font/
html/
img/
config.json
So I would like to have the data available as soon as the js is available
instead of having to use jQuery or another method to fetch it later.
Thanks in advance.
