There is a feature for this at the moment, but it's a little bit hidden: you can use ?_json=col to tell Datasette that you would like a specific column to be exported as nested JSON: https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/json_api.html#special-json-arguments

I considered trying to make this automatic - so it detects columns that appear to contain valid JSON and outputs them as nested objects - but the problem with that is that it can lead to inconsistent results - you might hit the API and find that not every column contains valid JSON (compared to the previous day) resulting in the API retuning string instead of the expected dictionary and breaking your code.
