Access json file in WebGL build

Hello, I am trying whole day to access json file from StreamingAssets folder. Easy way to do this on PC platforms is:

string filePath = Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "highScoreData.json");
jsonString = File.ReadAllText(filePath);

This unfortunately does not work when running on web browser. I tryed using this code:

if (filePath.Contains("://"))
{

WWW www = new WWW(filePath);
yield return www;
jsonString = www.text;​

}

but this does not work... Can you please show me how to write and read to json file that is placed somewhere inside project?

 

So now WWW is UnityWebRequest
And this is what i am looking for in this clog desperately.

 

hi so basically i will answer to myself as no one did

first you need to use the new unityWebrequest as www was deprecated

and the UNET also will



you can find the info here

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityWebRequest-CreatingDownloadHandlers.html

thank to all those who helped me

ahh
it only me here
mmm.....

 

so basically i did this and put google url into it it's from the unityWebRequest Manual.
with firefox it didn't work but with chrome just few lines of HTML (jaggy)
inside unity editor it reads perfectly
i will add the code also...any ideas why it is so laggy? anyone....

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Networking;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.Threading;
// UnityWebRequest.Get example

// Access a website and use UnityWebRequest.Get to download a page.
// Also try to download a non-existing page. Display the error.

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
GameObject @object;
public Text textObj;
public InputField inputField;
public Button button;
public string address = string.Empty;
private bool isOkToStart = false;

//i use start as coroutine
IEnumerator Start()
{

if (isOkToStart)
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(5f);
StartCoroutine(GetRequest(address));
}
}
////when clicked the test button will take the adress into inputfield
public void GetUrlFromInputString(string uri)
{
inputField = inputField.GetComponent<InputField>();
address = inputField.text;
isOkToStart = true;
}
public void InsertAddress()
{

address = inputField.text;


if (address==string.Empty)
{

return;
}
else
{
address = inputField.text;

isOkToStart = true;
//Debug.Log("GetRequest("+address+") called ", gameObject);
StartCoroutine(GetRequest(address));
//Debug.Log("GetRequest(" + address + ") called ", gameObject);
}

}

IEnumerator GetRequest(string uri)
{
using (UnityWebRequest webRequest = UnityWebRequest.Get(uri))
{
// Request and wait for the desired page.
yield return webRequest.SendWebRequest();

string[] pages = uri.Split('/');
int page = pages.Length - 1;

if (webRequest.isNetworkError)
{
//Debug.Log(pages[page] + ": Error: " + webRequest.error);
textObj.text = pages[page] + ": Error: " + webRequest.error;
}
else
{
//Debug.Log(pages[page] + ":\nReceived: " + webRequest.downloadHandler.text);
textObj.text = pages[page] + ":\nReceived: " + webRequest.downloadHandler.text;
}
}
}
}

 

btw need to run it in a from the web not from local directory (it is WebGl) so put it inside a localhost and test.

 

So if You Read Your Files With this Little App Then You Can Access Your Online Data File (like Json and so).
i did it just to see if the webGl Unity Can Read From Urls When Its Outside of The Editor Of Unity.

 

Also you Can See The Use Of Input Field Reader Example. not pretty but working.
