The JSON attribute type allows to manage hierarchical data such as key values but also, for example, tables of nutritional values, complex information on composition, seasons ...
For this last example, the use of this format replaces the creation of:
a Season document type,
a link between the Product document type and the Season document type
attributes on the link type
This is a very useful attribute if flows are set up in your PIM ecosystem.
It is not editable from the interface. The information is most often coming from the PIM's upstream systems (ERP, PLM...) and is only passing through the PIM to feed other systems, so it is rarely modified by users. However, they are readable by users, and many of us do not know how and when to use this type of attribute.
