How can we store configuration data in new asp.net vnext? web.config still there(system.web removed, so no any web.config,but I like it) or using new json file for configura

Not sure exactly what kind of data you are trying to store but this work for me. I created this file myconfig.json and store that data that I need in a JSON format.

This will register your configuration file, I added this code in the startup.cs page.

Configuration = new Configuration()
.AddJsonFile("config.json")
.AddJsonFile("myconfig.json")
.AddEnvironmentVariables();

To get the data that you need from the your JSON file you need to this at any point on your code.

IConfiguration Configuration = new Configuration().AddJsonFile("myconfig.json");
var jsonNodes = Configuration.Get("SomeJsonNode");
string someJsonString = Configuration.Get("someJsonString");

FYI: At the moment that I tested that code json array were not supported. Not sure if they fixed that now.
