How to Load JSON Data in Godot 4.0 (static data management)

Description

In this video, I'll show you how to setup a basic script for loading static JSON data into a dictionary for use in your Godot project!
This concept is very helpful for items, dialogue, and other data resources, and is a vital component in most games.

If you have any suggestions for tutorials or other game development concepts you'd like me to cover, feel free to lmk in the comments! :)

My Notes

  • Using a tool called GridlessDB.
  • You can buy GridlessDB on itch.io or Steam.
    • If you buy the itch.io version, the mac version won't run. There are directions of how to resolve this issue, but's it's not easy to resolve. It's easier to use Steam as your launcher. The itch.io version comes with a Steam key also.
