Import json file with different name #1850
Description
- Node.js Version: 11
- OS: Ubuntu 18.04
- Scope (install, code, runtime, meta, other?): Code
I have been able to import json files using require("myfile.json");. I have some files that are actually json but are named with a different file extension (myfile.jlib for example). How can I require them as normal json without changing the filename?

The deprecated way is to use
require.extensions.I'm not aware of a replacement for the CommonJS module loader (
require()) other than to read the file in with something likefs.readFile()and callingJSON.parse()on the results.For ECMAScript modules (esm) the replacement seems to be to use loader hooks.
