I'm trying to add a external library into my project in Qt Creator. Usually I am supposed to add the .dll, .lib or .a file (I am using Windows) when right-clicking my project > add library but in my case, there is no such file in the folder. Am I just blind and I keep overseeing it or do I have to create the file on my own or something like that? I would appreciate if there's a detailed solution for my problem.

As already mentioned in comments, this is a header-only library.
You have a ArduinoJson.h file in the root of the repository that seems to include the whole library. You just have to #include it where needed and that should work.
If you don't want to #include with the full path, you can set the INCLUDEPATH variable in your .pro file (details here).
For example:
.pro
INCLUDEPATH += path/to/ArduinoJson/
implementation
#include <ArduinoJson.h>
1- Download and Install CMake Here
2- Download your project sources Here
3- Extract your project to a source folder (Exemple : G:\Cmake\Sources\ArduinoJson-6.x)
4- Run Cmake
5- Indicate the path of your project and where you want to generate your project for a later compilation of lib, dll
6- Click on Configure
7- Choose your IDE cible (Visual Studio 2010 in my case)
8- Click on Generate
9- Open your VC solution ("G:\Cmake\Build\ArduinoJson.sln")
10- Compile your project to get Libraries
