-Although it should be considered an experimental feature at this time and requires a bit of manual setup, it's possible to access custom data stored in JSON files from [[script|scripts]]. To do so, you must first create a subfolder named "data" within your game's project folder and place the desired JSON file into that folder. When [[exporting your game]], the editor will automatically include any files in the data folder having the .json extension.+Although it requires a bit of manual setup, it's possible to access custom data stored in JSON files from [[script|scripts]].
