<!-- No need for fetch or ajax.
 Use the widely supported FileReader api. -->
<input type="file" name="inputfile" id="inputfile">
<pre id="output"></pre>
<script type="text/javascript">
	document.getElementById('inputfile')
		.addEventListener('change', function() {

			var fr = new FileReader();
			fr.onload = function() {
				document.getElementById('output')
					.textContent = fr.result;
			}

			fr.readAsText(this.files[0]);
		})
</script>
