you need to monitor a REST web service on zabbix that responds in json format.
Is there any elegant solution to make it easier to write the expected jsons in Zabbix?

If I were you, I would not store json in the zabbix database. Simply because it will not be very convenient to work with such values.
IMHO it is better to write (let's say in python) a script that receives your json, parses it and sends its fields with the necessary Zabbix keys using zabbix_sender. Just in this way, you can set the required type of information for each field, get graphs and triggers for some metrics, and so on.
In python, this is written in 10 minutes.
