I suppose JSON-LD is made for RDF and that I have to find instead a kind of JAXB for JSON and adapt its output to make it compatible with JSON-LD?

Just to clarify, JSON-LD is not "made for RDF", but does include some facilities to go back and forth between RDF and JSON-LD.

There are four implementations of JSON-LD which pretty much support what you want to do (JavaScript, PHP, Python and Ruby). Probably the best way to get started is using the "fromRDF" api call to get from an RDF graph into JSON-LD expanded form, and then compact or frame to make the structure of the JSON-LD match your needs.

There's also a java implementation (https://github.com/tristan/jsonld-java), which may also implement many of the calls you need, but I don't have any direct experience with it.

The group on the JSON-LD mailing list (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-linked-json/) is quite active and can help to address your use cases.

JSON-LD has several ways of modeling the serialized JSON output: compacted, expanded, normalized, and framed. See some example at [1]. I'm cc'ing a couple of people involved in JSON-LD, I'm sure they'll be able to give more advice.
