Reading Data from JSON File Using Protractor

As we all are aware, data-driven testing is one of the important aspects we need to take care of while designing any testing framework. There could be different approaches to Data-Driven Testing like

•         Reading Test Data from a properties file
•         Reading Test Data from JSON File
•         Reading Test Data from excel

We already have seen in another blog, how to read data from a properties file and use it in our automation framework. Please refer to this link to know about it.

In this blog, we will learn how to read data from JSON File and use them in our protractor automation test.

Before proceeding further to this blog, I assume you have basic knowledge about protractor and how to find XPath and execute protractor automation tests.

For this purpose lets first create one JSON file in our project lets name it as object.json

In this JSON File I will store my Application URL along with few data locator

Please Note that JSON file will always store data in Key-value pair inside { } braces for e.g “ElementName”:”Xpath”

Below is sample JSON File

Now to Read data from this JSON File inside our automation script we need to provide the path of this JSON File using require and then we can read data from this JSON File using JSONfileName.ElementName and can execute our automation script

Below is my runner class to execute this automation scripts
