I once made something like this to mount json files as a fuse filesystem. It's not maintained and one of my first projects, so the code is somewhat questionable, but it does work.

It basically mounts a dict on a filesystem, the exact opposite of what you want :)

My big question is why? you wanted to navigate or display a JSON dataset using filesystem-viewer tools? i.e. "Explore" the JSON dataset?

Well, mostly because I wanted to play with fuse, but it started out as an ansible thing (doesn't work with >2 though).

The ansible setup module returns the system information in json, and if you mount it with the --realtime flag, when you open a "file" like ram for instance, ansible fetches the current value for you. That way you have your infrastructure mounted so to speak. Sort of a /proc filesystem for your linux infrastructure.

I never got further than a working poc though. It works, but there are some bugs and there is no regard for security.
