Grunt task to assemble JSON files from filenames in JSON

I have a JSON file that looks like:

{
"someRandomStuff": "myRandomStuff",
"includeNodesFromFiles": {
"item1": "item1.json",
"item2": "item2.json",
"item3": "item3.json"
}
}


And now I want to replace item1, item2, and item3 with JSON content from each respective file, so the destination file would look like:

{
"someRandomStuff": "myRandomStuff",
"includeNodesFromFiles": {
"item1": {"whatever": "...whatever was in item1.json"},
"item2": {"whatever": "...whatever was in item2.json"},
"item3": {"whatever": "...whatever was in item3.json"},
}
}


Or similarly for an array:

{
"someRandomStuff": "myRandomStuff",
"includeNodesFromFiles": [
"item1.json",
"item2.json",
"item3.json"
]
}


To:

{
"someRandomStuff": "myRandomStuff",
"includeNodesFromFiles": [
{"whatever": "...whatever was in item1.json"},
{"whatever": "...whatever was in item2.json"},
{"whatever": "...whatever was in item3.json"}
]
}


How could I do that with Grunt? I'm not finding a Grunt task that will do that out-of-the-box so far.
