Understanding Lua Tables vs. Json

I have a newbie question regarding tables.  I am creating a flash card style app and I have 100 card terms and 100 definitions After InApp purchases it will go up to 500 terms and 500 definitions.

 I am using the Kwik plugin and I have saved all of the terms and definitions in a lua table.  I have tested the app with 10 card terms and 10 definitions in the lua table and it works fine without having to work with json.   Is there a reason I should use the loadsave and json method?  Does that offer better performance?  Sorry if this is a silly question.  I am just trying to understand why and when to use json files.  Thanks!

It’s a touch slower to open a file and read it, but it’s really a minor, minor, trivial performance hit.
