I don't have much context about your technical requirements but can I ask why JSON instead of a more indexable format?

It's a tradeoff between ease of writing, and ease of reading for indexing, and freeform analytical usecases like this. JSON caters to all fairly well.

It's one file per domain, so looking at specific urls is no prob with this setup.
