One common misunderstanding is related to the JavaScript import statement, which is utilized for importing files in JavaScript syntax.
The presence of the prefix @ in a path is likely associated with Webpack's resolve.alias, serving as a substitute for the source folder. This alias can be configured by frameworks like Vue, as explained in this Stack Overflow post.
Importing JSON using a module loader
In scenarios where you need to import a JSON file using Webpack (configured by Vue), you can do so like this:
import myObject from "@/myObject.json";
Once imported, you can directly utilize the content without requiring any additional parsing, treating it as a regular JavaScript object:
const keys = Object.keys(myObject);
console.log(keys);
Since the parsing is done during the import process, there's no need for separate parsing steps.

Loading JSON in native JS
In pure vanilla JavaScript, loading JSON involves utilizing methods like XMLHttpRequest for fetching and parsing data. Alternatively, jQuery provides a convenient function for this purpose:
$.getJSON("test.json", function(json) {
console.log(json);
var myObject = JSON.parse(json);
});
