Hi Rocky@ , Would something like this work?

 

var md = app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences;
var ns = "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/";
var p, v;

//the json object
var o = {"Name":"John Doe","id":"1234","Address":"Main Street"}
var props = o.reflect.properties;

for (var i = 0; i < props.length-4; i++){
    p = props[i].name
    v = o[props[i]]
    md.setProperty(ns, p, v)
};   

 

JSON gets added to Raw Data
