  <h1>JSON Loader</h1>
</div>

<h2 align="center">Install</h2>

```bash
npm install --save-dev json-loader
```

> ⚠️ **Since `webpack >= v2.0.0`, importing of JSON files will work by default. You might still want to use this if you use a custom file extension. See the [v1.0.0 -> v2.0.0 Migration Guide](https://webpack.js.org/guides/migrating/#json-loader-is-not-required-anymore) for more information**

<h2 align="center">Usage</h2>

### `Inline`

```js
const json = require('json-loader!./file.json');
```

### `Configuration` (recommended)

```js
const json = require('./file.json');
```

**webpack.config.js**
```js
module.exports = {
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.json$/,
        loader: 'json-loader'
      }
    ]
  }
}
```
