JSON Escape - Escape JSON for Strings
Escape JSON for embedding in strings, configuration files, or databases.
About JSON Escaping
JSON escaping converts a JSON string into a format that can be safely embedded inside another string. This is necessary when you need to include JSON data within code, configuration files, or database fields.
The escaped output can be directly pasted into a string literal in JavaScript, Python, Java, or other programming languages without causing syntax errors.
