Typescript can resolve json file?

Question

Can I import json file without the extension in typescript?

for example, I have file.json, and this is my typescript file: import jsonData from './file'.

But I got an error: [ts] Cannot find module './file'.

try "./file.json" instead of "./file"

or

read json file using fs.readFile("./file.json"), then parse it with JSON.parse()

hahaha.. the question was how to resolve without add extension.

then.. um, use fs module for reading json file like ordinary text file,

and use JSON.parse for parsing

Pleas edit your answer and not provide additional info in comments as comments are likely to be deleted.

Why, I'm curious, do you want to don't need have the extension explicitly written?
