The older import assertion syntax works: ```ts import coolFile from './something.json' assert { type: 'json' } ``` But acorn does not appear to support the newer import attribute syntax and it will not get added [until Stage 4](https://github.com/acornjs/acorn/issues/1289): ```ts import coolFile from './something.json' with { type: 'json' } ``` PR #104 actually works around this issue by falling back to the parent loader when parsing fails.
