In TypeScript you can use import to load local JSON files. For example loading a font.json:

import * as fontJson from '../../public/fonts/font_name.json';

This requires a tsconfig flag --resolveJsonModule:

// tsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "commonjs",
        "resolveJsonModule": true,
        "esModuleInterop": true
    }
}
