when received your JSON file, then display in browser

const [ JsonFile, setJsonFile ] = useState({})

const uploadFile = (event)=>{
const reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onload = function(){
    window.location.href = reader.result;
        }
reader.readAsDataURL(event.target.files[0]);
setJsonFile(event.target.files[0]);
}

get your JSON file from client

<input type="file" onChange={uploadFile} />
