[chef] Loading a text of json file into a hash every run

[David Montgomery < >]

Hi,

I have a file that on every run needs to load a cookbook into a hash so I can use in a subsequent template.

So, how do Load e.g.

{
   "a": "b",
   "c": "d"
}

from a recipe into a hash from a text file?  Ruby block?  I perform python but what ever works.

Thanks
