## 2022-02-08, Version 16.14.0 'Gallium' (LTS)

### Notable changes

#### Importing JSON modules now requires experimental import assertions syntax

This release adds experimental support for the import assertions stage 3 proposal.

To keep Node.js ESM implementation as compatible as possible with the HTML spec, import assertions are now required to import JSON modules ( still behind the --experimental-json-modules CLI flag):

`mjs import info from './package.json' assert { type: 'json' }; `

Or use dynamic import:

`mjs const info = await import('./package.json', { assert: { type: 'json' } }); `
