This is how I would do it. Additional information can be found in File Handling in Xamarin.Forms:

// get file name
string fileName = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData), "YourJsonFile.json");
// read file
string json = File.ReadAllText(fileName);

// deserialize/parse json
var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Data>(json);
// or
var jObject = JObject.Parse(json);

The above assumes use of Newtonsoft.Json, however, similar can be achieved using System.Text.Json.
