JSON is an interchange format. You can store it in a file or a DB if you want, just like any other format, though whether that's a good idea depends on exactly what you're doing.

You say "So far my source csv file is 235KB in size with about 700lines (nodes/leaves)". Are you considering switching from CSV to JSON? (You don't really say.) You also say "The number is going to grow let's say every week by 5-10". Neither CSV or JSON are really optimal for large files that will have incremental changes applied, except with CSV you can append data efficiently. If appending is all you're doing you could stick with CSV, but if you need to do other modifications, I'd probably decompose the data into a DB so that updates could be made efficiently.

Actually, the amount of data you're talking about is pretty small, and with such a small number of updates per week, you probably don't need to worry about efficiency. Do whatever you want. :-)
