data.GetJSON

Syntax

data.GetJSON PATHPART... ⟼ any

Alias

getJSON

Given the following directory structure:

my-project/
└── other-files/
    └── books.json

Access the data with either of the following:

{{ $data := getCSV "," "other-files/books.json" }}
{{ $data := getCSV "," "other-files/" "books.json" }}

Access remote data with either of the following:

{{ $data := getCSV "," "https://example.org/books.json" }}
{{ $data := getCSV "," "https://example.org/" "books.json" }}

The resulting data structure is a JSON object:

[
  {
    "author": "Victor Hugo",
    "rating": 5,
    "title": "Les Misérables"
  },
  {
    "author": "Victor Hugo",
    "rating": 4,
    "title": "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
  }
]

Global resource alternative

Consider using resources.Get with transform.Unmarshal when accessing a global resource.

my-project/
└── assets/
    └── data/
        └── books.json

{{ $data := "" }}
{{ $p := "data/books.json" }}
{{ with resources.Get $p }}
  {{ $opts := dict "delimiter" "," }}
  {{ $data = . | transform.Unmarshal $opts }}
{{ else }}
  {{ errorf "Unable to get resource %q" $p }}
{{ end }}

Page resource alternative

Consider using .Resources.Get with transform.Unmarshal when accessing a page resource.

my-project/
└── content/
    └── posts/
        └── reading-list/
            ├── books.json
            └── index.md

{{ $data := "" }}
{{ $p := "books.json" }}
{{ with .Resources.Get $p }}
  {{ $opts := dict "delimiter" "," }}
  {{ $data = . | transform.Unmarshal $opts }}
{{ else }}
  {{ errorf "Unable to get resource %q" $p }}
{{ end }}

Remote resource alternative

Consider using resources.GetRemote with transform.Unmarshal for improved error handling when accessing a remote resource.

{{ $data := "" }}
{{ $u := "https://example.org/books.json" }}
{{ with resources.GetRemote $u }}
  {{ with .Err }}
    {{ errorf "%s" . }}
  {{ else }}
    {{ $opts := dict "delimiter" "," }}
    {{ $data = . | transform.Unmarshal $opts }}
  {{ end }}
{{ else }}
  {{ errorf "Unable to get remote resource %q" $u }}
{{ end }}
