>Escaping quotes might be annoying, but I can't think of a possible alternative format where escaping isn't required at all. One nifty way of doing this is custom quote sequence. In C++ it works like R"delimiter( raw_characters )delimiter" As delimiter can be anything it can be chosen not to conflict with the payload. Bash has had the same trick for here documents for a long while.
