function getItems(url) {
$.ajax({
    url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + url,
    type: "GET",
    headers: {
        "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
    },
    success: function (data) {            
    //gets your data in console
    console.log(data.d.results);
    },
    error: function (error) {
        alert(JSON.stringify(error));
    }
});
}

var urlForAllItems = "/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('ListName')/Items?$select=ID,SpPerson/Title,SpPerson/Id&$expand=SpPerson";
getItems(urlForAllItems);
