Reading resource file issue

Hi. I was making a language system for my project and it threw a NullPointerException. Every solution on the internet did not work.
For some reason, the code that reads the image on the same resources folder did work.
So, heres the code:
private String getLocalizedJson() throws IOException {
        return new String(getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/resources/localizedtexts.json").readAllBytes());
    }

Stack trace:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.io.InputStream.readAllBytes()" because the return value of "java.lang.ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(String)" is null
