By the definition of "3.403 Text File <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html#tag_03_403>" then no, because a JSON file can have arbitrarily long lines.
Note also: "Although POSIX.1-2017 does not distinguish between text files and binary files (see the ISO C standard), many utilities only produce predictable or meaningful output when operating on text files" Hence there's no guarantee that a line-based text processing utility like grep or sed will behave meaningfully with arbitrary JSON data. Typically they do work with "incomplete" lines (3.195), but not arbitrarily long ones.
