That is robust (well, it loses trailing whitespace).

Quotes.

    echo -e "$X"

Unquoted it is broken into "words" on whitespace, and echo prints the 
words with a single space between each. With quotes, echo has exactly 1 
argument, the string in $X.

Oh, and try to use $lowercase variables for unexported/nonconfiguration 
variables.

But add tz says, if it is JSON, better to parse the JSON if you're 
picking things out of it.
