Gatling :- Read Multiple JSON Payload from single file

Question

I'm making many HTTP request with JSON Payload and I'm reading one file for every single request to get JSON Payload as below.

  postPayload1 = val postPayload = ElFileBody("Test_case1.json")

  val TC1 = feed(accountNumberFeeder1)
    .exec(http(testCase1).post(appendPathToUrl).headers(common_header).body(postPayload).asJSON
    .check(status.is(200)
    )

But, it becomes so many JSON files inside my resources directory now. So can I merge all my JSON together in one file as below.

{"testCase1":{
  "activationSource": "HH",
  "accountStatus": null,
}
}

{"testCase2":{
  "activationSource": "HH",
  "accountStatus": null,
}
}

and access it with my keys "testCase1", "testCase2" etc ?

val postPayload = ElFileBody("Test_case.json")

From official Gatling Documentation, I found http://gatling.io/docs/2.2.1/session/feeder.html

JSON feeders Some might want to use data in JSON format instead of CSV:

val jsonFileFeeder = jsonFile("foo.json")
val jsonUrlFeeder = jsonUrl("http://me.com/foo.json")

For example, the following JSON:

[
  {
    "id":19434,
    "foo":1
  },
  {
    "id":19435,
    "foo":2
  }
]

will be turned into:

record1: Map("id" -> 19434, "foo" -> 1)
record2: Map("id" -> 19435, "foo" -> 2)

Note that the root element has of course to be an array.
