The difference is anything inside the public folder is publicly viewable meaning your data is not secured and will be visble to the user if they go to <your-domain>/<data>.json .

thank you for your answer @ocean tide this approach does not make it server sidedata right? i want to make my data server side is it possible or it is default server side data?

yes, store it anywhere inside src folder.

It'll only be accessible in the server

[desert grove]

If you put data inside src, you can import like import json from "@/path/to/file.json"
