Get a JSON file and output the contents

There are several ways to get a JSON file and output the contents. The simplest way is to use JavaScript. You can use the built-in JSON.parse() method to parse the JSON file and output the contents. The syntax looks like this:


let parsedJSON = JSON.parse(JSONfile);

This will parse the JSON file and store the results in the parsedJSON variable. To access the contents of the JSON file, you can then use dot notation. For example, if the JSON file looks like this:


{
  "name": "Raju",
  "age": 25
}

You can access the name and age of the person by using the following code:


let name = parsedJSON.name;
let age = parsedJSON.age;

If you want to output the contents of the file to the HTML page, you can use the document.write() method. It takes a string as a parameter and it prints it to the page. For example:


document.write("Name: " + name + " Age: " + age);

This will print the name and age of the person to the page in a div with the content "Name: Raju Age: 25". Another way to output the contents of a JSON file to the page is to use a template engine like Mustache. Mustache is a logic-less templating language that allows you to take a JSON object and output it to the page. It works by looping through the JSON object and printing the values to the page. For example:


{
  "name": "Raju",
  "age": 25
}

You can use a Mustache template to output the name and age of the person like this:


Name: {{name}} Age: {{age}}

This will print the name and age of the person to the page in a div with the content "Name: Raju Age: 25". There are also other templating languages like Jade, Handlebars, and EJS that can be used to output JSON data to the page. Whichever method you use, the key is to understand how to access the data in the JSON file and output it to the page.
