Description
I have encrypted a json file but cannot decrypt it again and get the error
Could not marshal tree: No binary data found in tree
Unfortunately I cannot share the json contents. Its a Google Service Account private key. However its likely it will also fail for other json files of this type as they have the same format and similar data.
sops 3.0.5 (latest)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with a Google Service Account private-key JSON file, then inspect where the “Could not marshal tree: No binary data found in tree” error is produced. Done means the affected JSON can be encrypted and decrypted successfully, with a regression test covering the format.
