This may not be of much help to you but on the one occasion where I imported metadata from a json file for about 100 books, I converted the json file to csv, massaged the columns in Microsoft Excel (any spreadsheet program should work) and then used calibre's import list plugin to copy the metadata to the book entries. A bit of a PITA but it saved me a few hours.
