How To Parse JSON in Node.js - TecAdmin
April 26, 2025 - This tutorial will help you to read JSON file using Node.js uses readFile and readFileSync functions of the jsonfile module.
How to import and use data from a JSON file (simply)
There are countless ways to do this in JS... What is your use case? Is it just a static file (file path and content doesn't really change) that you just want to import the data into your code? More on reddit.com
How do I read a JSON file into (server) memory?
I am doing some experimentation with Node.js and would like to read a JSON object, either from a text file or a .js file (which is better??) into memory so that I can access that object quickly fro... More on stackoverflow.com
How to parse big json files
By the looks of it you need the whole data structure in the memory. You need to identify what is you performance bottleneck. Is it reading the file or is it JSON.parse or is it your logic? I would start from there. If your validation logic is run only on "edges" and "nodes" then parse only those. More on reddit.com

Note that just like response bodies, request bodies are streams, and making the request reads the stream, so if a request contains a body, you can't make it twice: ... const request = new Request("https://example.org/post", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify({ username: "example" }), }); const response1 = await fetch(request); console.log(response1.status); // Will throw: "Body has already been consumed." const response2 = await fetch(request); console.log(response2.status);

r/learnjavascript on Reddit: How to import and use data from a JSON file (simply)
March 23, 2025 -
Every explaination I see either just copy pastes the JSON-data into the JS file, or they use code that looks like straight up dark magic. There has got to be a simpler way right?
If there is no "simple" way to do it, then what is the way that requires the least explaining, since my brain refuses to use code I don't completely understand.
Thank you!

Well my assumption is you are trying to use a JSON file as a database. Your only option really is to read the entire JSON file into memory, manipulate it and the rewrite it to the file. Otherwise use SQLite.

3 weeks ago - If you have a package.json file for your app, you can omit the main script entirely and nodemon will read the package.json for the main property and use that value as the app (ref).

Sync:
var fs = require('fs');
var obj = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('file', 'utf8'));
Async:
var fs = require('fs');
var obj;
fs.readFile('file', 'utf8', function (err, data) {
if (err) throw err;
obj = JSON.parse(data);
});

The easiest way I have found to do this is to just use require and the path to your JSON file.
For example, suppose you have the following JSON file.
test.json
{
"firstName": "Joe",
"lastName": "Smith"
}
You can then easily load this in your node.js application using require
var config = require('./test.json');
console.log(config.firstName + ' ' + config.lastName);

Parsing JSON Files in TypeScript Using Node.js
We'll use import to bring in the fs module and read from the file. TypeScript allows us to explicitly declare variable types, enhancing readability and reducing mistakes. Here, filePath is the path to the JSON file with a declared type of string.
