# readJson(file, [options, callback])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Reads a JSON file and then parses it into an object. `options` are the same
|
||
|
|
that you'd pass to [`jsonFile.readFile`](https://github.com/jprichardson/node-jsonfile#readfilefilename-options-callback).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Alias:** `readJSON()`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `file` `<String>`
|
||
|
|
- `options` `<Object>`
|
||
|
|
- `callback` `<Function>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const fs = require('fs-extra')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fs.readJson('./package.json', (err, packageObj) => {
|
||
|
|
if (err) console.error(err)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
console.log(packageObj.version) // => 0.1.3
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Promise Usage
|
||
|
|
fs.readJson('./package.json')
|
||
|
|
.then(packageObj => {
|
||
|
|
console.log(packageObj.version) // => 0.1.3
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
.catch(err => {
|
||
|
|
console.error(err)
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
```
|

`readJson()` can take a `throws` option set to `false` and it won't throw if the JSON is invalid. Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const fs = require('fs-extra')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const file = '/tmp/some-invalid.json'
|
||
|
|
const data = '{not valid JSON'
|
||
|
|
fs.writeFileSync(file, data)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fs.readJson(file, { throws: false }, (err, obj) => {
|
||
|
|
if (err) console.error(err)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
console.log(obj) // => null
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Promise Usage
|
||
|
|
fs.readJson(file, { throws: false })
|
||
|
|
.then(obj => {
|
||
|
|
console.log(obj) // => null
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
.catch(err => {
|
||
|
|
console.error(err) // Not called
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
```
