JSON is simply a data storage format. So a JSON file is a data store.
Alternatives, for example, are YAML or XML.

why do we JSON to store while we have other alternatives? what is the importance of it?
@rushendra One thing that JSON has ahead of other file storage solutions is its high compatibility to NodeJS and browsers because of the JS syntax.
There is no general importance of JSON.
