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

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
