See:

http://developer.anscamobile.com/reference/index/ioopen

us the io.* API calls to open, read, write and close files. The above link has examples of what to do. After you json.encode a table, you end up with a string that can be easily written to a file. Then when you open the file, read that string back in, json.decode will return a table of your data.
