How to use JSON String Escape / Unescape
- Paste plain text to escape, or a complete quoted JSON string to unescape.
- Choose the conversion direction and run the tool.
- Copy the result into the appropriate JSON string context.
How this tool handles your input
Escape includes the surrounding double quotes and represents line breaks and quotation marks using JSON escapes. Unescape requires a JSON string, not an object.
This is JSON string syntax, not HTML escaping or URL encoding. It does not recursively decode nested data.
Example: A line break becomes \n inside a quoted JSON string.
