JSON Escape/Unescape

JSON Escape/Unescape is the process of escaping the offending characters in JSON string that could prevent the parsing or interpretation or unescape the JSON special characters to their original ones.

Some characters are reserved in JSON and must be escaped before the JSON string is used.

The following characters are reserved in JSON and must be properly escaped before being used in the string. 

In JSON Escape,

• Backspace is converted to b
• Form feed is converted to f
• A new line is converted to n
• The carriage return is converted to r
• The double quote is converted to."
• The backslash is converted to 
• The tab is converted to t

• Please copy the code and paste it into the desired location.
• You can unescape the JSON escaped string by clicking the "Un Escape" button.

Coding is crucial. A small mistake can sometimes have devastating results. It is always better to have a backup of the code file before proceeding with the escape/unescape process.

The load sample data option is quite helpful in this way. It allows you to check the results that minify can give.
