What is the vanilla JS version of Jquery's $.getJSON

Question

I need to build a project to get into a JS bootcamp I am applying for. They tell me I may only use vanilla JS, specifically that frameworks and Jquery are not permitted. Up to this point when I wanted to retrieve a JSON file from an api I would say

$.getJSON(url, functionToPassJsonFileTo)

for JSON calls and

$.getJSON(url + "&callback?", functionToPassJsonPFileTo) 

for JSONP calls. I just started programming this month so please bear in mind I don't know the difference between JSON or JSONP or how they relate to this thing called ajax. Please explain how I would get what the 2 lines above achieve in Vanilla Javascript. Thank you.

So to clarify,

function jsonp(uri){
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
        var id = '_' + Math.round(10000 * Math.random())
        var callbackName = 'jsonp_callback_' + id
        window[callbackName] = function(data){
            delete window[callbackName]
            var ele = document.getElementById(id)
            ele.parentNode.removeChild(ele)
            resolve(data)
        }

        var src = uri + '&callback=' + callbackName
        var script = document.createElement('script')
        script.src = src
        script.id = id
        script.addEventListener('error', reject)
        (document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.body || document.documentElement).appendChild(script)
    })
}

would be the JSONP equivalent?

Here is the Vanilla JS version for $.getJSON :

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET', '/my/url', true);

request.onload = function() {
  if (request.status >= 200 && request.status < 400) {
    // Success!
    var data = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
  } else {
    // We reached our target server, but it returned an error

  }
};

request.onerror = function() {
  // There was a connection error of some sort
};

request.send();

For JSONP SO already has the answer here

With $.getJSON you can load JSON-encoded data from the server using a GET HTTP request.
