How to get JSON file in node.js?

Question

In my app I have directory server and sub-directory x and within this directory there is a file called x.js (written using node.js).

In another sub-directory of server there is a y.json file; I want to use its content in x.js .

It must be very easy, but nothing yet has helped me,

thanks!

Answer 1

Just include it in your js file

var myJson = require('path_to_your_json');
// json file contains {"myValue": "resolved"}

console.log(myJson.myValue); // Prints "resolved";
