Which statement describes the readJSON method in Yeoman's file system API?

• A. It reads a JSON file and returns a string
• B. It reads a JSON file and returns nothing
• C. It reads a JSON file and returns a JavaScript object
• D. It writes a JSON file to disk

Answer: (C)

ReadJSON reads a JSON file and parses its content into a JavaScript object. It takes the JSON text on disk, converts it into the corresponding JS structure (objects, arrays, numbers, booleans, etc.), and returns that object so you can access data directly in your generator code. This is why the result is a JavaScript object rather than a string or a write operation. If the file isn’t found, you can often provide a default value to be returned, but the core behavior is returning a parsed object representing the JSON data.
