The Bun.file() function accepts a path and returns a BunFile instance. The BunFile class extends Blob and allows you to lazily read the file in a variety of formats. Use .json() to read and parse the contents of a .json file as a plain object. The MIME type of the BunFile will be set accordingly.

const contents = await file.json();
