    fetch is used for requests to the web server.

    You can import it directly if you are not running a web server:

    import * as testContent from './test.json';

    You don’t use fetch to read a local JSON file; instead, you use the readFile() method as demonstrated below:

    const { readFile } = require("fs/promises");

async function readJsonFile(filename) {
  const data = await readFile(filename, "utf8");
  const parsedData = JSON.parse(data);
  console.log(parsedData);
}

readJsonFile("./test.json");
