title: Parse json file with node and gulp
body: <p>Right now I'm browserifying my code in the gulpfile, and sending it to the appropriate location. however if I want to parse a json file and display it within index.html...</p>
  
  <p>it returns this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Uncaught TypeError: require(...).readFileSync is not a function
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is my code <a href="http://pastebin.com/n0BJfZG9" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/n0BJfZG9</a> of my gulpfile and app.js</p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something? Why can't I use normal node modules for this kind of thing?</p>
