@SumanSatija4 if you are creating json inside the AEM, use AssetManager API

AssetManager assetManager = resourceResolver.adaptTo(AssetManager.class);
if(assetManager != null){
    assetManager.createAsset("/location/in/jcr", "application/json", true);
}

[Saravanan_Dharmaraj]

One thing to note, if you are using AEM as Cloud service

com.day.cq.dam.api.AssetManager.createAsset​(String, InputStream, String, boolean)	In AEM as a Cloud Service, assets should instead take advantage of direct binary access. A discussion of this change as well as an SDK to ease implementation of this new pattern can be found at aem-upload.

But this one is deprecated right ?

[Saravanan_Dharmaraj]

@SumanSatija4 yes, please see the second message i sent for more information.

The practice of programmatically creating 'assets' is discouraged in AEMaaCS due to the Assets Architecture. Further information on this can be found here: https://github.com/adobe/aem-upload?tab=readme-ov-file#background

"aem-upload" is recommended for uploading assets to AEMaaCS but I think it is not what you are looking for. I recommend reconsidering the necessity of creating an asset in AEM programmatically. If the goal is to store information (such as JSON), consider using a node or its properties instead.

Hope this helps
