Is it possible to load variables into LESS CSS preprocessor from a JSON file like you can do with Stylus?

With contents of file `myvars.json`

```
{
    "color1": "#112345",
    "color2": "#667890"
}

```

In Stylus I do...

```
json('myvars.json')
body{ background-color: color1; }

```

Is it possible to do this in LESS?

I want to keep the file as JSON, so I can easily re-use it in javascript.
