@expo/json-file
A library for reading and writing JSON files.
Install @expo/json-file in your project.
yarn add @expo/json-file
import JsonFile, { JSONObject } from '@expo/json-file';
// Create a file instance
const jsonFile = new JsonFile<JSONObject>(filePath);
// Interact with the file
await jsonFile.readAsync();
await jsonFile.writeAsync({ some: 'data' });
The 'jsonfile' package offers similar functionality to '@expo/json-file' for reading and writing JSON files. It provides methods like 'readFileSync', 'writeFileSync', 'readFile', and 'writeFile'. The main difference is that 'jsonfile' does not provide modification capabilities directly, and it has both synchronous and asynchronous methods.
While 'fs-extra' is a more general file system utility library, it includes methods for reading and writing JSON files, such as 'readJson', 'writeJson', 'readJsonSync', and 'writeJsonSync'. It extends the built-in 'fs' module in Node.js and provides additional file operation methods. It is more comprehensive but less specialized than '@expo/json-file'.
