I have working code for bibjson -> bibtex though it may be lossy in some cases.
There are issues of how to embed lists of objects in BibTeX, espcially links. I suggest using e.g.

link_1_url = { ... },
link_1_anchor = {... },
link_1_rel = {... },
link_2_url = {... },
link_2_anchor = {... },

Of all the things that are difficult to squash into bibtex, links are by far the most important.
