Q: What characters get escaped?
A: Common escaped characters include quotes ("), backslashes (\\), newlines (\\n), tabs (\\t), and other control characters that need special handling in JSON.
Q: Why do I need to escape strings?
A: JSON has strict syntax rules. Special characters like quotes can break JSON structure, so they must be escaped to maintain valid JSON format.
Q: Can I unescape a JSON string?
A: Yes, you can use JSON.parse() to convert an escaped JSON string back to its original form, or use our JSON formatter tool for validation.
Q: What if my string is already escaped?
A: If you input an already-escaped string, it will be double-escaped. Always check if your input is already in the correct format before conversion.
