I found this repository when sorting by recently updated - I use both scoop and nerd-fonts so I took a look, thanks for the bucket!
By using a PowerShell hashtable and ConvertTo-Json we can avoid the error-prone manual escaping of JSONs special characters inside the templateString.
ConvertTo-Json automatically correctly escapes everything and it makes the manifest template data easier to read and maintain.
I tested exporting some templates and running them through checkver -u and the JSON was still read and updated correctly. Installing and uninstalling from the manifests also still worked like before because I didn't change any of the contents, just the way the JSON file is produced.
