You need to read the file from the robot users.json and parse its contents

Project structure

{ "users": [{ "username": "tester0", "password": "secret0", "firstname": "Dmitry", "lastname": "Mendeleev", "phone": 12345 }, { "username": "tester1", "password": "secret0", "firstname": "Nikolai", "lastname": "Basov", "phone": 12346 } ] }
