I thought JSON was more suited to holding simple data structures,
rather than serialising arbitrary complex objects.

Which bits of data do you need? The basics like the
id/name/description and sequence could be presented like a tuple and
encoded in JSON. Annotations begins to get complicated - but a
dictionary of basic types should be fine. I suspect the biggest hurdle
would be trying to encode any features.
