Transferring website data via JSON files to WordPress

I am currently overseeing the transition of a website from another platform to a wordpress based site. The site is primarily blog/news style, so transferring over articles is the top priority. The rest of the site outside of those pages has already been re-designed.

As part of the transition, I am being provided with a series of JSON data which should correspond to the individual articles from the old site. What I am unsure of is how to take this JSON data and re-populate the articles on my WordPress site. The follwing is the explanation of the data I will receive.

I have tried plug-ins which enable the JSON file type but so far this has not been successful with a test file, as wordpress is still blocking media imports of that file type.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
