Description
It would be helpful if the JSON output contained the date it was emitted for.
With the current format, the only option is to include that with every event.
Otherwise, instead of emitting multiple JSONArray of event-JSONObject documents, emit a single JSONArray of JSONObject(date: JSONArray of event-JSONObject), that’s even easier to parse (multi-document support exists in few JSON parsers).

Research direction
Start by locating khal's JSON output entry point and inspect how event objects are currently emitted. Resolve whether the output should add a date to every event or use the proposed date-to-events structure, then verify the chosen format against existing JSON consumers and tests, if present.
