> I do wonder if this makes the importable gets (via type: json) a reality like assert was going to.

Yes, the JSON modules proposal is finished.

An entire class fetch requests will go away with importable gets. I am excited for this

In node you could always require("food.json")

Not what I am talking about though.

I’m talking about in place of a fetch call, you could simply import a json response from an endpoint, there by bypassing the need to call fetch, and you’ll get the response as if it’s imported.

It won’t replace all GET calls certainly but I can think of quite a few first load ones that can simply be import statements once this happens

Ohh right. That makes sense.
