Hi Joakins,
Here is one code part that I write in one of my applications For that you need to have Newtonsoft.Json library (nuget) to reference 
/// <summary>
/// Read all places form file
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
internal async Task<object> ReadConfigAsync()
try
await AddConfigAsync();
StorageFile ConfigFile = await localFolder.GetFileAsync("Config.js");
//Decrypt data
string StringList = await FileIO.ReadTextAsync(ConfigFile);
PlaceRootObject resultTemp = await Task.Factory.StartNew(() => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<PlaceRootObject>(StringList));
return resultTemp;
catch (Exception)
return null;
after following line its all about consuming Json.
string StringList = await FileIO.ReadTextAsync(ConfigFile);
Here
is link about consuming Json
This file is stored locally in isolated storage
Hope that helps
