Interesting.  While we ourselves haven't hooked up Timeplot to Exhibit
yet, there's no reason it can't load data out of JSON.  For instance,
there's an issue and (unused, so far) patch in our tracker from someone
whose requirements made JSON a better option for loading data:

Of course, you may find what you need to do in addition is to walk
through the database to generate per-date counts, as opposed to using
the individual resources/datapoints Exhibit normally works with.
