How to read AppSettings values from a .json file in ASP.NET Core

I have set up my AppSettings data in file appsettings/Config .json like this:

{
  "AppSettings": {
        "token": "1234"
    }
}

I have searched online on how to read AppSettings values from .json file, but I could not get anything useful.

I tried:

var configuration = new Configuration();
var appSettings = configuration.Get("AppSettings"); // null
var token = configuration.Get("token"); // null

I know with ASP.NET 4.0 you can do this:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["token"];

But how do I do this in ASP.NET Core?
