Insert Json data in mmenu slide-out menus

Question

I am trying to figure out how to inject json data into a contacts list using the mmenu plugin. An example of the contacts list is located here https://mmenujs.com/demo/index.html?demo=menu-advanced-4. The contacts are currently hardcoded in the html. I want to get the contacts info from a json file.

How could I do this?

<div id="menu">
            <ul id="contacts">
                <li>
                    <span>
                        <span class="preview">
                            <img src="img/profile-1-b.png" />
                            <span>Alan<br>
                                <small>Thompson</small>
                            </span>
                        </span>
                    </span>

                    <div data-mm-title="Alan Thompson">
                        <div class="details">
                            <img src="img/profile-1-b.png" />
                            <strong>Alan</strong>

                        <span class="preview">
