You can use the jzos record generator which is part of the java sdk for z/os. It generates java records out of dsects. With java code it takes ebcdic byte arrays as input and allows to use getter methods to convert the assembler data types into strings, which is basically what json is. You can write an assembler routine which starts a jvm, sends the ebcdic byte array to java and executes the java class (to be written by your java programmer) that calls the getter methods for the assembler data types and creates json. Or you read the records from a dataset with a java batch job or from any other source that can provide the byte array.
Hope that helps. Feel free to contact my directly for more details.
