is there a require for json in node.js
json, node.js, require
Solution
As of node v0.5.x yes you can require your JSON just as you would require a js file.
var someObject = require('./somefile.json')
In ES6:
import someObject from './somefile.json'
Problem
I would like to include a couple of JSON files in my JavaScript code that are in the same directory as my JavaScript source file. If I wanted to include another JavaScript file I could simply use `require`. Now I'm using `readFileSync` and `__dirname` to get the JSON, which I think is an ugly way to do it. Is there something similar for require that enables me to load a JSON file?
