Looking at,

    https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/blob/master/csl-data.json

the main difficulty seems to be the author field, which is more "complex",
or perhaps just more sane, in the JSON equivalent.  It may be possible to
use bibtex-autokey-demangle-name to approximate a translation from bibtex
to JSON.

There are clearly other complex fields like "accessed", but I guess it
would rarely show up in an bib(la)tex entry.  But I have nothing to back
this claim up with.
