Import a JSON file

Bun natively supports .json imports.

package.json

{
	"name": "bun",
	"version": "1.0.0",
	"author": {
		"name": "John Dough",
		"email": "john@dough.com"
	}
}

Import the file like any other source file.

data.ts

import data from './package.json';

data.name; // => "bun"
data.version; // => "1.0.0"
data.author.name; // => "John Dough"

Bun also supports Import Attributes and JSON modules syntax.

data.ts

import data from './package.json' with {type: 'json'};

data.name; // => "bun"
data.version; // => "1.0.0"
data.author.name; // => "John Dough"
