sppo works right but, spid doesn’t  
I think they have same structure so, I can’t understand.  
Here is the structure of spid

```auto
function setup() {
  createCanvas(300, 300);
  sppo = loadJSON("../jsons/spposition.json");
  spid = loadJSON("https://static.api.nexon.co.kr/fifaonline4/latest/spid.json");
}

function draw() {
  background(255);
  fill(0);
  text(sppo[0]["desc"],20,20);
  text(spid[3]["name"],20,60);
}

```

Are you seeing any errors in the console in your browser?

`loadJSON` is asynchronous, meaning it may not have finished when `draw` is called. The [documentation for `loadJSON`](https://p5js.org/reference/#/p5/loadJSON) shows how to handle that using a callback function or by fetching the JSON file inside the `preload` function.

I didn’t think about checking the console because it was my first time programming.  
There are many messages.

- on atom-live-server sppo works and spid doesn’t. But, on github io both don’t work.
