Using Node. Js, How Do I Read a Json File into (Server) Memory?

Background

I am doing some experimentation with Node.js and would like to read a JSON object, either from a text file or a .js file (which is better??) into memory so that I can access that object quickly from code. I realize that there are things like Mongo, Alfred, etc out there, but that is not what I need right now.

Question

How do I read a JSON object out of a text or js file and into server memory using JavaScript/Node?
