Interesting. I've never seen the import-with syntax, though and it's hard to find any documentation on it. Is this a syntax extension?

  It’s been introduced as part of ecmascript 2026 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import/with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

    It first started as an assert statement[0] for those who may have seen that, these type statements are an evolution out of that proposal. I do wonder if this makes the importable gets (via type: json) a reality like assert was going to. [0]: https://v8.dev/features/import-assertions https://v8.dev/features/import-assertions

        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.
