Read the contents of the file and deserialize it to a collection in C#, add the new record then serialise to JSON and overwrite the existing file.
Here's the class:
public class Person
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Street { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public int Zipcode { get; set; }
}
Here's some code to do what you need:
var path = @"path_to_json_file";
var json = File.ReadAllText(path);
var people = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Person>>(json);
people.Add(new Person{Id = 789, Name = "Mike", City = "ASP.NET", Street = "MVC Avenue", Zipcode = 12345});
json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(people);
File.WriteAllText(path, json);
