what happens if we do not load the module initially using sap.ui.define but try to access it in code?

Would like to explain it with example. Suppose we have a controller and we try to create a model using - var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel({});

But we have no where loaded sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel before writing this code.

Will it work? If yes, then why does it throw error in some other scenarios.

May be I am little confused regarding library and module loading in ui5 application, so could anyone help with it?

Referencing UI5 modules with their fully qualified module name (e.g. new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel()) is not recommended at all!

Is there any reason why you don't add "sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel" to the controller's dependency?

If you really need to access a module at runtime, at least encapsulate it in sap.ui.require

//...
sap.ui.require([
  "sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel"
], function(JSONModel) {
  const oModel = new JSONModel({});
  // ...
});
