How to refer to a json file in Azure function

Question

I have a .net app which currently uses a json file stored locally on my machine.

I want to convert this app to an Azure Function App but I'm not sure where I can put my json file so that I can alter it in the future.

I am basically asking what is the equivalent in Azure.

var json = @"DocumentExtractorexample.json";

If you are based on Windows OS, then azure function has a root directory: D:homesitewwwroot.

You can use this:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.directory.getcurrentdirectory?view=net-5.0

If you store a file in this root directory, it will actually be stored in the file share of the storage account specified when creating the function app.
