I have a separate .json file, I need to iterate over the file or read through the file and do some stuff. How exactly do I do this in Javascript?

Question

I have a folder with an html, css, json, and js file. The js file are a list of person's and what they do. I need to analyze the json file contents using javacript. I know that in C or C++ you can open the file for reading and analyze it, then close it. So, how do I do this in Javascript? And do I need to add the name of the JSON array in the.json file, or should i leave the contents as it is?

Let's assume you're using nodeJS, you can import the json file using require .

After you've imported the json file, you can access the object as it would be a JS object.

const jsonFile = require("./pathtofile.json")

for(let obj in jsonFile) {
    console.log(obj)
}
