Following instructions how to use dataTables

http://www.datatables.net/examples/ajax/custom_data_flat.html

Following this example but where should I place my source data objects_root_array.txt in project directory?

[

{

    "name": "Tiger Nixon",

    "position": "System Architect",

    "salary": "$320,800",

    "start_date": "2011/04/25",

    "office": "Edinburgh",

    "extn": "5421"

},

{

    "name": "Garrett Winters",

    "position": "Accountant",

    "salary": "$170,750",

    "start_date": "2011/07/25",

    "office": "Tokyo",

    "extn": "8422"

  },...

]

I am using Flask, and I have placed in

1. same location as my loadjson.js

2. top of project root directory data/objects_root_array.txt

loadjson.js

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('#example').dataTable( {

        "ajax": {

            "url": "data/objects_root_array.txt",

            "dataSrc": ""

},

        "columns": [

            { "data": "name" },

            { "data": "position" },

            { "data": "office" },

            { "data": "extn" },

            { "data": "start_date" },

            { "data": "salary" }

]

    } );

} );

But it is always file cannot be found with a 404 status?
