After some search I found, JSON could wrap that as a blob:
{
    "devices": {
      "printer": {
        "1": {
          "model": ["A", "C, "D"],
          "ICC_PROFILE": 
"/home/graeme/.local/share/color/devices/printer/prt1.icc"
        },
        "2": {
          "model": ["B"],
          "Gutenprint_curve": "<curve wrap="wrap" type="linear" gamma="0" piecewise="false">
<sequence count="48" lower-bound="-6" upper-bound="6">
    0    0    0    -0.02    -0.04    -0.08    -0.12    -0.16
    -0.2    -0.24    -0.28    -0.32    -0.32    -0.32    -0.32    -0.32
    -0.36    -0.4    -0.44    -0.48    -0.5    -0.45    -0.4    -0.3
    -0.12    -0.07    -0.04    -0.02    0    0    0    0
    0    0    -0.03    -0.06    -0.09    -0.13    -0.17    -0.21
    -0.25    -0.22    -0.19    -0.16    -0.13    -0.1    -0.07    -0.03
</sequence>
</curve>"
          "ICC_PROFILE": 
"/home/graeme/.local/share/color/devices/printer/prt2.icc"
        }
      }
    }
}

Its a modified example from ucmm[1].
