This is normal,
JSON has never been rendered, it is simply a helper at the moment.

In future, JSON field will propose :
- a sub form in the FORM
- a sub layout in the FLY
- a sub layout in the GRID

At the moment, when you instance a JSON field it simply place this code in populateObjects()
if (!empty($item->my_object_json) && is_string($item->my_object_json))
{
	$registry = new JRegistry;
	$registry->loadString($item->my_object_json);
	$item->my_object_json = $registry->toObject();
}

And in save() :
if (isset($data['my_object_json']) && is_array($data['my_object_json']))
{
	$registry = new JRegistry;
	$registry->loadArray($data['my_object_json']);
	$data['my_object_json'] = (string) $registry;
}

Simply a coder/decoder. Nothing else.
I should explain it better in the docs.

Note : The docs are under construction, I am currently creating that,
I will release it during 2017. It is gonna be beautiful, but it is a long way.
Coding is now a piece of cake

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
