Open JSON files in different directory - Python3, Windows, pathlib - json

Question

I am trying to open JSON files located in a directory other than the current working directory (cwd). My setting: Python3.5 on Windows (using Anaconda).
from pathlib import *
import json
path = Path("C:/foo/bar")
filelist = []
for f in path.iterdir():
filelist.append(f)
for file in filelist:
with open(file.name) as data_file:
data = json.load(data_file)
In this setting I have these values:
file >> C:\foo\bar\0001.json
file.name >> 0001.json
However, I get the following error message:
---> 13 with open(file.name) as data_file:
14 data = json.load(data_file)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '0001.json'
Here is what I tried so far:
Use .joinpath() to add the directory to the file name in the open command:
with open(path.joinpath(file.name)) as data_file:
data = json.load(data_file)
TypeError: invalid file: WindowsPath:('C:/foo/bar/0001.json')
Used .resolve() as that works for me to load CSV files into Pandas. Did not work here.
for file in filelist:
j = Path(path, file.name).resolve()
with open(j) as data_file:
data = json.load(data_file)
Since I'm on Windows write path as (and yes, the file is in that directory):
path = Path("C:\\foo\\bar") #resulted in the same FileNotFoundError above.
Instantiate path like this:
path = WindowsPath("C:/foo/bar")
#Same TypeError as above for both '\\' and '/'

The accepted answer has a lot of redundants - re-collected generator and mixed with statement with pathlib.Path.
pathlib.Path is awesome solution to handle paths especially if we want to create scripts which may work with Linux and Windows.
# modules
from pathlib import Path
import json
# static values
JSON_SUFFIXES = [".json", ".js", ".other_suffix"]
folder_path = Path("C:/users/user/documents")
for file_path in folder_path.iterdir():
if file_path.suffix in JSON_SUFFIXES:
data = json.loads(file_path.read_bytes())
Just adding modification for new users. pathlib.Path works with Python3.

Complete solution; thanks #eryksun:
from pathlib import *
import json
path = Path("C:/foo/bar")
filelist = []
for f in path.iterdir():
filelist.append(f)
for file in filelist:
with open(str(file) as data_file:
data = json.load(data_file)
This line works as well:
with file.open() as data_file:
