jq makes handling json in existing bash scripts simple. It can even do some simple data wrangling via built-in functions like map. It's not a universally standard command yet, but it's available for most modern systems. I'm not sure about similar xml cli tools, but they probably exist. Point is, both of these should be cli tools, not shell built-ins.
