Is there any convenient way to load a local JSON file into a variable with CasperJs?

I have the following working on CasperJS 1.1-beta1 and PhantomJS 1.9.1
test.json
{
"test": "hello"
}
test.js
var json = require('test.json');
require('utils').dump(json);
casper.echo(json.test); // "hello"
The solution proposed by @hexid worked for me with one change, i added a './' before the file address to denote it is a local file.
test.json
{
"test": "hello"
}
test.js
var utils = require('utils');
var json = require('./test.json');
utils.dump(json);
utils.dump(json.test); // hello
utils.dump(json["test"]); // hello
(i would add it as a comment but I'd need 50+ rep to do that)
Here is a complete sample
var casper = require('casper').create();
var json = require('test.json');
require('utils').dump(json);
casper.echo(json['test']);
casper.exit();
