Pro Git has a chapter "Customizing Git - Git Attributes" about gitattributes
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Attributes

The section "Diffing Binary Files" has two examples: docx2txt (with wrapper)
for DOCX (MS Word) files, and exiftool for images. For JSON you could use
some prettyprinter / formatter like pp-json.

"Performing text diffs of binary files" section of gitattributes(1) manpage
covers 'textconv' vs 'diff', and uses 'exif' tool as textconv example.
