JSBSim is a stand alone utility which is used by FlightGear.
For most JSBSim relates questions you would probably be better off at 
it's own development list:

Project homepage:
http://jsbsim.sourceforge.net/

Mailinglist:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jsbsim-devel

Now for your question, you could take a look at how FlightGear is doing 
it by examining the example files supplied by JSBSim:
https://sourceforge.net/p/jsbsim/code/ci/master/tree/examples/

Especially the copy_to_JSBsim() and copy_from_JSBsim() functions.
