There is an Elisp library `json.el` that comes with Emacs, which is also available in Emacs 26 (and perhaps earlier versions, dunno). But it's not a drop-in replacement, because the functionality of the two isn't entirely equivalent (and function names are different). So if `osm` isn't set up to work with it as an alternative, native json support is gonna be necessary.
