I know that we had similar discussion before, but did you take a look
at CoRE format: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6690?

As Michael Coster pointed out, there is a JSON key-value model format
for CoRE link serialization:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bormann-core-links-json-02

CoRE get bigger adoption these days with IPSO objects initiative.
