How to load a JSON file?

[fariazz]

Does anyone know how to load a json file in the preload method in Phaser 3?

The JSON folder of the examples in the Loader class are empty so I'm a bit stuck: http://labs.phaser.io/index.html?dir=loader/json/&q=

I haven't used it yet, but I guess this.load.json("yourkey", "your.json") should work. Function definition is below:

json(key: string | Phaser.Loader.FileTypes.JSONFileConfig | Phaser.Loader.FileTypes.JSONFileConfig[], url?: string, dataKey?: string, xhrSettings?: XHRSettingsObject): Phaser.Loader.LoaderPlugin;

Thanks that worked! If it helps anyone, this is how you can then retrieve the loaded object:

// in preload()
this.load.json('levelData', 'assets/level.json');


// in create()
let data = this.cache.json.get('levelData');
