Is there a web.config equivalent for UWP App development?

Question

In web development we have web.config where I can manually configure a few app settings for each client separately. Is there a similar thing for UWP apps [I am developing a Windows UWP app.]

Hope, it helps you.

You can add appsettings.json file e.g.:-

appsettings.json

{
  "key1": "value1",
  "key2": "value2"
}

Make sure that appsettings.json file property set "Copy To Output Directory" to "Copy always".

Find Values from appsettings.json file like this-

var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true);
IConfiguration configuration = builder.Build();
string GetValue1 = configuration.GetSection("key1").Value;
string GetValue2 = configuration.GetSection("key2").Value;

Thanks!!!
