That's exactly what I use Text to RGSS for. External set up of data (custom monster data structures in my case). I can see the appeal of wanting to be able to use existing JSON encoding libraries to minimize the amount of code you have to write, however.
What's your economy data structure look like? If it's just a list of fields (like items or monsters in RPG Maker) then Text to RGSS is all you need. If its a polymorphic or inheritance OOP pattern then you would need a JSON parser.
Yes a JSON parser would be reasonable to have in any RPG Maker, it just sounds soooo boring to write! I mean I guess I could work on porting http://flori.github.io/json/ to RGSS if you really really need it.
