Even the official Python API is more or less an example, since that "API" is barely anything more than a wrapper around the JSON API.

Possibly, you may have that reversed. JSON is used to wrap the Python commands in a database format (json) so that any language that supports json can send commands (inquiries) to Archicad.

I have written several Python interfaces/applications with Archicad and never used JSON and don't intend too. Python can be used by itself, either internally or externally, and I have demoed both without JSON The classes and commands are completely Python and run in the Python embedded environment.They simply request data from Archicad. JSON is a Data format not a Programming language.
