Sed to replace text as it is without newline conversion

Hi,

Due to some product limitation
1. have to apply newline char in an xml content and store in a file updated.xml. So the entire content will be in a singleline.
2. Then I use sed command to update this content in a JSON file.
3. this step is to invoke an api to send the above json (right now it fails)

But what happens, after sed in the json file, I think it converts new line and I see each xml in a separate line which make this invalid request.

could you advice how to store xml content as is like in a single line in json please

Sed command

dtoXMLData=$(cat escaped/${response_xml_for_conversion})
sed -i -e "s|CHANGE_ME_DTO_XML_DATA|${dtoXMLData}|g" ${src_finalize_project_json}
