CasperJs loads json data from a local file

Question

Is there any convenient way to load a local JSON file into a variable with CasperJs?

I saw someone suggest to use

$.getJSON(filename, function() ... 
         


        

Answer 1

The solution proposed by @hexid worked for me with one change, i added a './' before the file address to denote it is a local file.

test.json

{
    "test": "hello"
}

test.js

var utils = require('utils');
var json = require('./test.json');

utils.dump(json);
utils.dump(json.test); // hello
utils.dump(json["test"]); // hello

(i would add it as a comment but I'd need 50+ rep to do that)
