Is there are way to import non-geo JSON files into QGIS?

Here is a json file containing various attributes relating to countries. However, it does not contain any geographic data.

I would like to join these attributes with another file that has the geographic data for the countries. But I can’t figure out how to get it into QGIS.

Is there a way of loading non-geojson json files into QGIS?
