Unable to embed stackoverflow web in an iFrame

Question

I am trying to embed Stack OverFlow website into a html page using iFrame, but I am unable to do that. I have tried to embed my other two websites and those are displaying correctly and this one is not getting displayed in my page.

The iFrame i used in the code:

 <iframe src="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20199126/reading-json-from-a-file" style="height: 300px; width: 100%;"></iframe>

And the error is

 Refused to display 'https://www.stackoverflow.com/' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'deny'.

Please tell me is there any method to access the Stack OverFlow.

Thanks in advance

There isn't. If you could get around `X-Frame-Options`, there would be no point having it in the first place — freefaller, Mar 13 '20 at 12:03

The X-Frame-Options HTTP response header can be used to indicate whether or not a browser should be allowed to render a page in a <frame>, <iframe>, <embed> or <object>. Sites can use this to avoid clickjacking attacks, by ensuring that their content is not embedded into other sites.

The added security is only provided if the user accessing the document is using a browser supporting X-Frame-Options.
