As a connoisseur of bad ideas for adding data to GnuCash myself, I have to
point out that one should use a programming language that has a library
with support for the structured data format that one wants to add to. You
use the parser provided by the language to generate objects in that
language. You then perform operations on those objects. Finally, you use
the library function to emit well formatted structured data.
