It is possible to read a file into a string. JSONValue happily accepts this
string which contains binary data.
But the moment you want to get data using js.toString an exception is thrown:
core.exception.UnicodeException at src\rt\util\utf.d(292): invalid UTF-8 sequence



import std.json;
import std.file: read;

void main()
{
    string s = cast(string) read(`C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd.exe`);
    JSONValue js = JSONValue(s);

    string s2 = js.toString; // this line will throw the exception
}
