Replace yajl-ruby with the json gem for JSON handling

[Watson1978]

This commit replaces the yajl-ruby dependency with Ruby's standard json gem for the following reasons:

1. Future Compatibility: yajl-ruby is no longer actively maintained and relies on internal C APIs that are removed in Ruby 4.1. Migrating to the standard json gem ensures the plugin can continue to be built and used in future Ruby environments. Ref. [Misc #21768] Remove deprecated APIs ruby/ruby#15447, Can we release a new version for recent Ruby? brianmario/yajl-ruby#233
2. Performance: The standard json gem has seen significant improvements in recent updates and now outperforms yajl-ruby.
