The free online JavaScript Escape/Unescape tool performs the two functions.

• It escapes the reserved characters in JavaScript with its corresponding characters.
• It unescapes the escaped characters in JavaScript by returning them to their original ones.

Some characters are reserved in JavaScript strings. Those characters should be escaped before the JavaScript string is used.
