sed replace every word with single quotes with double quotes - bash

Question

I'm trying to parse a file with single quotes, and want to change it to double quotes.
Sample data :
{'data': ['my',
'my_other',
'my_other',
'my_other',
'This could 'happen' <- and this ones i want to keep',
],
'name': 'MyName'},
'data2': {'type': 'x86_64',
'name': 'This',
'type': 'That',
'others': 'bla bla 'bla' <- keep this ones too',
'version': '21237821972'}}}
Desired output :
{"data": ["my",
"my_other",
"my_other",
"my_other",
"This could 'happen' <- and this ones i want to keep"
],
"name": "MyName"},
"data2": {"type": "x86_64",
"name": "This",
"type": "That",
"others": "bla bla 'bla' <- keep this ones too",
"version": "21237821972"}}}
I've already tried to do some regex with sed, but unlucky.
I understand why this is not working for me, just don't know how to go further to get data as i want.
sed -E -e "s/( |\{|\[)'(.*)'(\:|,|\]|\})/\1\"\2\"\3/g"
Cheers,

I am no expert in jq so as per OP's question trying to answer in awk to substitute ' to " here.
awk -v s1="\"" '!/This could/ && !/others/{gsub(/\047/,s1) } /This could/ || /others/{gsub(/\047/,s1,$1)} 1' Input_file
Output will be as follows.
{"data": ["my",
"my_other",
"my_other",
"my_other",
"This could 'happen' <- and this ones i want to keep',
],
"name": "MyName"},
"data2": {"type": "x86_64",
"name": "This",
"type": "That",
"others": 'bla bla 'bla' <- keep this ones too',
"version": "21237821972"}}}

We know that ‘sed’ command can search for a pattern and can replace that pattern with user provided new one
For example sed “s/pattern1/pattern2/g” filename.txt
Now the ‘sed’ command will search for pattern1 and if found it will replace with pattern2
For your requirement you just need to apply this rule. See below
First
sed "s/^\'/\"/g” yourfile
This will search for every newline with character ‘ in the file and replace with “
Next requirement is to search for pattern ‘: and replace with “:
So add one more condition to it separated by ;
sed "s/^\'/\"/g; s/\':/\":/g” yourfile
Just follow this algorithm till you reach you requirement
The final should be look like:-
sed "s/^\'/\"/g; s/\':/\":/g;s/{\'/{\"/g;s/\[\'/\[\"/g;s/\',/\",/g;s/\'}/\"}/g;s/: \'/: \"/g;" yourfile > newfil
(If the above command gives you error just use the command at the very beginning)
finally
mv newfile yourfile
