Unity WebGL Simple JSON-CodePudding

I am trying to import text in my Unity script with WebGL but it seems like in WebGL, it is not able to find the JSON file itself. I have saved the file in StreamingAssets. How do I fix this?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using SimpleJSON;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class ReadScene : MonoBehaviour {
    public string jsonFile;
    JSONNode itemsData;
    string path;

    public Text sceneText;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start () {

        path = Path.Combine (Application.streamingAssetsPath, "Settings.json");
        if (File.Exists (path)) {
            jsonFile = File.ReadAllText (path);
            DeserializePages ();
        } else {
            sceneText.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        }
    }


    public void DeserializePages () {
        itemsData = JSON.Parse (jsonFile);
        var parseJSON = JSON.Parse (jsonFile);

        sceneText.text = parseJSON["Scene01"].Value;

    }


}

Also I have tried to change the folder location to "Resources" and still facing the same issue.

CodePudding user response：

From Application.streamingAssetsPath

It is not possible to access the StreamingAssets folder on WebGL and Android platforms. No file access is available on WebGL. Android uses a compressed .apk file. These platforms return a URL. Use the UnityWebRequest class to access the Assets.

tbh I don't even know right now whether this No file access is available on WebGL is just misleading or indeed means there is no way to access StreamingAssets. I will assume it is just formulated badly and just means you can not access any file/directory directly but you can still go through UnityWebRequest.Get like

IEnumerator Start () 
{
    sceneText.gameObject.SetActive(false);

    path = Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "Settings.json");

    using(var request = UnityWebRequest.Get(path))
    {
        yield return request.SendWebRequest();

        if(!request.result == UnityWebRequest.Result.Success)
        {
            Debug.LogError("Error: "   result.error);
            yield break;
        }
       
        jsonFile = webRequest.downloadHandler.text;
        DeserializePages();
    }
}

private void DeserializePages() 
{
    itemsData = JSON.Parse (jsonFile);

    sceneText.text = itemsData["Scene01"].Value;
    sceneText.gameObject.SetActive(true);
}
