I would gently suggest naming it filefs or something; ffs already means https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?ffs(7)

That said - good idea/approach; seems like an excellent way to cleanly extend the unix approach to structured file formats:)

Yeah please rename it to JFS (JSON File System). Oh wait...

There is a reason I suggested "filefs"; 3 chars isn't really enough to easily be unambiguous.
