JSON Escape
Convert raw text with special characters into a properly JSON-escaped string. Use this when embedding text inside a JSON string value.
What Gets Escaped?
JSON strings must escape certain characters with a backslash:
\"— double quote\\— backslash\/— forward slash (optional but valid)\n— newline\r— carriage return\t— tab\uXXXX— Unicode code points
When Do You Need This?
Common cases: storing file paths on Windows (C:\Users\name), embedding HTML or SQL inside JSON, storing multi-line text in a JSON string, or constructing JSON by hand that includes double quotes in values.
