+#### Overriding loader
+
+The previous two loaders defined `load` hooks. This is an example of a loader
+that does its work via the `resolve` hook. This loader reads an
+`overrides.json` file that specifies which specifiers to override to another
+URL.
+
+```js
+// overriding-loader.js
+import fs from 'node:fs/promises';
+
+const overrides = JSON.parse(await fs.readFile('overrides.json'));
+
+export async function resolve(specifier, context, nextResolve) {
+  if (specifier in overrides) {
+    return nextResolve(overrides[specifier], context);
+  }
+
+  return nextResolve(specifier, context);
+}
+```
+
+Let's assume we have these files:
+
+```js
+// main.js
+import 'a-module-to-override';
+```
+
+```json
+// overrides.json
+{
+  "a-module-to-override": "./module-override.js"
+}
+```
+
+```js
+// module-override.js
+console.log('module overridden!');
+```
+
+If you run `node --experimental-loader ./overriding-loader.js main.js`
+the output will be `module overriden!`.
