+title: Load JSON data
+brief: This example shows how to load json data using sys.load_resource().
+author: jerakin
+scripts: json_load.script
+---
+
+The example will load a json file. This can be useful for something like level data.
+
+Before we can load a resource we need to tell Defold that we have custom resources.
+We do this by changing the "custom resources" entry within our game.project file.

+1. Convinience sake we only want pass in the name of the level, but to load the resource we need to give it the full path.
+2. Load the resource, this will return a string.
+3. Use the json.decode to make our string into a lua table.
+4. Use the loaded level data in whatever way we want.
