Not easily: At that point you're into binary serialization formats like bson.

Which really aren't that different from, say, a tar file with metadata in an 
adjacent file.

Maybe you want attachments as binary, and json that references them:

{
    "files": [
        { "name": "foo.jpg", "title": "My File" }
    ]
}

and then just bundle that all up together.

This is ultimately how npm packages, ruby gems and debian packages work. I 
think it's the same kind of problem.
