title: '📃 JSON'

To add any json file, use the data_type as `json`. Headers are included for each line, so for example if you have a json like `{"age": 18}`, then it will be added as `age: 18`.

Here are the supported sources for loading `json`:

```
1. URL - valid url to json file that ends with ".json" extension.
2. Local file - valid url to local json file that ends with ".json" extension.
3. String - valid json string (e.g. - app.add('{"foo": "bar"}'))
```

<Tip>
If you would like to add other data structures (e.g. list, dict etc.), convert it to a valid json first using `json.dumps()` function.

## Example

<CodeGroup>

```python python
from embedchain import App

app = App()

# Add json file
app.add("temp.json")

app.query("What is the net worth of Elon Musk as of October 2023?")
# As of October 2023, Elon Musk's net worth is $255.2 billion.
```


```json temp.json
{
    "question": "What is your net worth, Elon Musk?",
    "answer": "As of October 2023, Elon Musk's net worth is $255.2 billion, making him one of the wealthiest individuals in the world."
}
```
