What are the various JSON files available in ASP.NET Core?

Question

There are mainly 6 configuration JSON files in ASP.NET Core:
global.json - This file is used to specify the .NET SDK version that will be used by ASP.NET Core projects.launchsettings.json - This file is used to specify the startup command for ASP.NET Core projects.appsettings.json - This file is used to store application settings, such as database connection strings and API keys.bundleconfig.json - This file is used to define bundles of JavaScript and CSS files that can be loaded by ASP.NET Core applications.project.json - This file is used to define the project's dependencies and build configuration.bower.json - This file is used to define the client-side dependencies for an ASP.NET Core application.
In addition to these configuration files, ASP.NET Core also supports using JSON to serialize and deserialize objects. This can be done using the
System.Text.Json library, which is included in the .NET Framework.
Here are some examples of how JSON can be used in ASP.NET Core:
To store application settings in a JSON file, you can use the following code:
C#
public class Startup
{
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddSingleton(new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
            .Build());
    }
}
To serialize an object to JSON, you can use the following code:
C#
public class User
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
}
public class Example
{
    public void SerializeObjectToJson()
    {
        User user = new User() { Name = "John Doe", Age = 30 };
        string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(user);
        Console.WriteLine(json);
    }
}
To deserialize a JSON string to an object, you can use the following code:
C#
public class Example
{
    public void DeserializeJsonToObject()
    {
        string json = @"{
            "Name": "Jane Doe",
            "Age": 25
        }";
        User user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObjectandlt;User>(json);
        Console.WriteLine(user.Name);
        Console.WriteLine(user.Age);
    }
}
