There is also a user tool cpanel_json_xs.
cpanel_json_xs [-v] [-f inputformat] [-t outputformat]
Picked a configuration file at random from Stellarium data:
$ cpanel_json_xs <defaultStarsConfig.json >testfile
The conversion was effected but as is usual with JSON data you have to look closely in some places to see it.
$ cat defaultStarsConfig.json 
{
	"version": 12,
	"hipSpectralFile": "stars_hip_sp_0v0_4.cat",
[...]
			"url": "https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases/download/stars-2.0/stars_8_2v0_1.cat",
			"checksum": "9e2e362022824c60d7e4d94ef8c3af12",
			"checked": false
		}
	]
}
$ cat testfile
{
   "catalogs" : [
      {
         "checked" : true,
         "checksum" : "f29bcdca4ef0e945988ff609f7fa9e6a",
[...]
         "sizeMb" : 534,
         "url" : "https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases/download/stars-2.0/stars_8_2v0_1.cat"
      }
   ],
   "hipComponentsIdsFile" : "stars_hip_cids_0v0_0.cat",
   "hipSpectralFile" : "stars_hip_sp_0v0_4.cat",
   "version" : 12
}

Updated from version 4.250.
Removed testfile and ran the same command.
testfile looked identical to the earlier one.

A bit late in the day tested the security issue by removing two of the : characters from hash keys in the firstwo stanzas of the catalog section.
		{
			"id": "stars0",
			"fileName": "stars_0_0v0_8.cat",
	->		"count" 0.005,
			"magRange": [-2, 6],
			"sizeMb": 0.1,
			"checksum": "f29bcdca4ef0e945988ff609f7fa9e6a",
			"checked": true
		},
		{
			"id": "stars1",
			"fileName": "stars_1_0v0_8.cat",
			"count": 0.022,
	->		"magRange" [6, 7.5],
			"sizeMb": 0.6,
			"checksum": "cdffa5b38b1de9eb53272176921861d2",
			"checked": true
		},

Running the command again produced an error.
$ cpanel_json_xs <defaultStarsConfig.json >testfile2 
':' expected, at character offset 203 (before "0.005,\n\t\t\t"magRa...") at /usr/bin/cpanel_json_xs line 219, <STDIN> line 1.

Giving this an OK.
