It may be a good idea to read the json file while parsing 
configuration.  Such things are usually done either when 
processing a directive which specifies a file to use, or in a 
configuration merge callback.

E.g., XSLT filter loads stylesheets specified in the 
ngx_http_xslt_stylesheet() function, which is called to handle the 
"xslt_stylesheet" directive.  See 
src/http/modules/ngx_http_xslt_filter_module.c for details.
