The `Bun.file()` function accepts a path and returns a `BunFile` instance. `BunFile` extends `Blob`, so you can read the file lazily in a variety of formats. Use `.json()` to read and parse the contents of a `.json` file as a plain object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bun sets the MIME type of the `BunFile` accordingly.

```ts index.ts icon="/icons/typescript.svg"
|
||
|
|
const path = "/path/to/package.json";
|
||
|
|
const file = Bun.file(path);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const contents = await file.json();
|
||
|
|
// { name: "my-package" }
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
file.type; // => "application/json;charset=utf-8";
|
||
|
|
```
