package.json is not related to angular's ecosystem. It's npm's ecosystem and its responsible for keeping meta data about pacakges/libraries you use as your dependency. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/configuring-npm/package-json

angular.json is related to angular ecosystem, its responsible for your angular app configuration. You can learn more from official angular docs.
