Do you already have some data stored in a CMS? Most CMS offer JSON feeds out of box or by installing a plug-in. If you don't have a data source yet, you can write a JSON file with any text editor, but it's definitely more comfortable with an application. You can do it in the browser http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/ or with apps from the App Store like this one https://itunes.apple.com/ch/app/cocoa-json-editor/id442160773?mt=12
