sounds to me like your external script isn't being referenced correctly. if your example is in the root of your application I'd guess your path isn't going to be:
<script src="../assets/scripts/jquery.json-2.2.min.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
but more likely this:
<script src="assets/scripts/jquery.json-2.2.min.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
but I can't be 100% sure without further information.
