No on client side Javascript you can't use require you can make ajax call to get JSON file's data. — Manwal

also if you are getting undefined - are you running this in a browser or as a server application? see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19059580/client-on-node-uncaught-referenceerror-require-is-not-defined — markyph

In client side Javascript require won't work. Instead of this use jQuery.getJson()

$.getJSON( "json_file.json", function( data ) {
   //data variable having your json data 
});

$.getJSON in nodejs ?

@RayonDabre: This is an xy question. The OP complains that javascript complains that require is not defined. That means he's not running his script in node. The OP is confused. This answer is probably correct.

Yes OP mentioned nodejs but actually he is trying to access JOSN at client side. @RayonDabre OP is confuse b/w Node and Javascript so he is trying Node's syntax in JS.
