Some users knows how to generate a JSON file (webmasters, Python, ...) but doesn't know c++ and how to compile a dll file. So I thought it would help to make a OnlineSource plugin that reads a JSON file on the drive. It uses the same structure as in the VDJ SDK but in JSON format.
{PluginName}.json is in the same folder as the dll

You need to edit "streamUrl" with the url of your mp3 file for example

For the ones who are not expert in JSON and you have many lines, an easy way is Python.
Please find some ideas:

import json
import pandas as pd

def test1_sort_json():
     strFilepath_In = "C:\\Users\\xxxx\\AppData\\Local\\VirtualDJ\\Plugins64\\OnlineSources\\yyyy.json"
     strFilepath_Out = "C:\\Users\\xxxx\\AppData\\Local\\VirtualDJ\\Plugins64\\OnlineSources\\yyyy_fixed.json"
     
     df = pd.read_json(strFilepath_In)

     df_sorted = df.sort_values(by='uniqueId', ascending=False)

     #df_sorted.drop_duplicates(subset=['uniqueId'],keep='first',inplace=True)

     df_sorted['uniqueId'] = df_sorted['uniqueId'].astype(str)

     json_str = df_sorted.to_json(strFilepath_Out, orient='records')


def test2_read_json():
    strFilepath = "C:\\Users\\xxxx\\AppData\\Local\\VirtualDJ\\Plugins64\\OnlineSources\\yyyy.json"

    fp = open(strFilepath, "r", encoding="utf8")
    
    data = json.load(fp)

    for i in data[0]:
        print(i)

    fp.close()
