.json files are currently not handled as source code. You can however use a FoxTrot hidden preference to handle them as another file type: for example .txt or .xml.
If you choose to index them as xml, you will also need to enable indexing xml files (which is disabled by default) in "indexed contents of files", in your index settings. Then .json files will be categorized as xml files.
To do so, quit FoxTrot, then copy and paste the following command to a Terminal.app window:
defaults write com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared Aliases -array-add "{type='json'; as='xml';}"
After that, relaunch FoxTrot and rebuild your index (updating may not be sufficient). In some cases, rebooting your Mac is also required (this should not be the case, but this happens: the change you make in Terminal is not seen by FoxTrot until you reboot).
You may also use third party app Prefs Editor to edit this hidden preference, instead of using Terminal.app.
