Because there are no JSON files in the game. They are in RTON format, which isn't an "obfuscated mess," it just needs to be handled correctly.

JSON and RTON are serialization formats. One is text-based, well-documented, and easy to read. But as you can see, it's inefficient in storing data. RTON is a binary serialization format, and proprietary to PopCap, which means it's not documented at all. But it's much more compact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialization Okay then. Do you even know how to edit them as desired?

I was making progress reverse engineering the format, JSON links will definitely help a lot.
