Referring to the comments on this post;

You are currently running your snippet in the browser and using CommonJS imports. Browsers use ES6 imports:

import * as data from "./data.json"

You need to make your data.json file like this

data={
   "name":"XYZ"
}

and import the data.json file into the index.html so that data.json stay upper then script.js

    <script type="text/javascript" src="data.json"></script>
    <script src="script.js"></script>

now you can use data as a variable in the script.js
