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.
