There have been a few similar efforts.
One is the work in NCO -- not about CF per-se but about a way to translate
the netcdf data model to json -- once you've done that, the CF rules are
pretty much the same.
There was also an effort by Pedro Nunes at NESDIS/STAR:
http://www.space-research.org/blog/star_json.html
and NCO now supports something (not sure the final state of that). The
discussion on sourceforge is here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/nco/discussion/9829/thread/8c4d7e72/
I'm not sure the status of either of those efforts, but hopefully we won't
have a third one!
