Nice! Now all we need is a MongoDB database inside the kernel. And it could be used for all kinds of things: device trees, file structures, even memory management come to mind.

Just joking. I think I get the least-common-denominator motivation. But isn't getting JSON into any kind of logging facility going to cause immediate "designed-by-committee" fears into kernel developers, and therefore ignore the lumberjack project?

remember that what we are talking about is not anything consumed inside the kernel, just the format of a one-way feed to output from the kernel to userspace

OK, that makes sense. JSON is trivial to generate.
