Skip Bash (and jq) and use Python and its JSON module.
Or use Bash and a lot of code to massage Bash data into JSON.
Or write a loadable builtin that duplicates jq.
I would choose Bash and jq or Python and JSON depending on my need. I would
put a bunch of other choices ahead of the pure Bash or loadable builtin.
But that's just me.
