Only by virtue of the code seeming to store everything in JSON. If you used a format where binary data could be stored as-is, you could end up with a zeroed sector in the middle of a large value. If you used a format that allowed zero bytes, you could end up with a structure that could be confused for something legal (e.g. list of TLV with many type=0 len=0 objects ignored).
