I cannot provide the JSON file since it's (work) confidential.

Thanks for the issue. tv will not support json. The strength of json is its flexibility. The weakness of json is its flexibility. Valid data can take many different forms in json format.

What I would do is use a tool like jq to convert your instance of data into a csv then you can pipe the csv data to tv.
