Notes:
- maybe you can spare the escaping of " if you mix ' (single quotes) and " (double quotes).
- simple shell scripting will suffice for what you want to achieve, jq seems not necessary(but hey! Read the docs maybe it's way simpler! I'm not an jq expert, I just use it occasionally)
- if you want to know if jq accepts the input, in other words to validate json, just pipe your data into jq . like echo "$data" | jq .. jq will complain if the data is not well formed.

xsil2graphics
XSIL2GRAPHICS(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation XSIL2GRAPHICS(1)
NAME
xsil2graphics - generate scripts to load xsil output data files
SYNOPSIS
xsil2graphics [options] <xsil_file>
DESCRIPTION
Utility program bundled with xmds, used to generate scripts that load simulation output data into either matlab (http://www.mathworks.com)
or scilab (http://www.scilab.org), which are then used to manipulate the results further if necessary and then to present the results
graphically.
Matlab
To generate a matlab m-file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:
bash$ xsil2graphics data_file.xsil
or
bash$ xsil2graphics --matlab data_file.xsil
Then at the matlab command prompt:
>> data_file
Scilab
To generate a scilab script file, from the xsil file data_file.xsil use the command:
bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab data_file.xsil
Then at the scilab command prompt:
--> exec('data_file.sci')
OPTIONS
-m, --matlab generate matlab m-file script to load data from the xsil data file (the default option)
-s, -scilab generate scilab script file to load data from the xsil data file
-o, --outfile <out_file> specify an alternative output script filename to the default which is the input xsil filename with the .xsil
extension changed to either .m for the matlab m-file or .sci for the scilab script file
EXAMPLES
bash$ xsil2graphics nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse.m to load the data into matlab
bash$ xsil2graphics -m nlse.xsil
Also generates the output nlse.m but explicitly sets matlab to be the output format
bash$ xsil2graphics --scilab nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse.sci to load the data into scilab
bash$ xsil2graphics --outfile nlse_new.m nlse.xsil
Generates the output nlse_new.m to load the data into matlab
