Raw text
Hello "team" Line two
What this tool does
JSON Escape converts plain text into a valid JSON string literal. That means quotes become escaped quotes, line breaks become \n, and backslashes are handled safely.
It is especially useful when a broken request body turns out to be a string-escaping problem rather than a structural JSON problem.
Common use cases
- Preparing text for API request bodies.
- Escaping fixture values in tests.
- Embedding multiline content inside JSON.
- Fixing logs or snippets that need JSON-safe strings.
Input and output example
Escaped JSON string
"Hello \"team\"\nLine two"
How to use this tool
- Paste raw text into the left panel.
- Click Escape for JSON.
- Copy the output and paste it into your JSON value.
- Use Unescape JSON String when you need to inspect an already escaped value.
Your text is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to our servers.
Common errors
- Unescaped quotes can break an otherwise valid JSON body.
- Raw line breaks inside JSON strings need to become escaped newline sequences.
- Backslashes may need double escaping depending on the surrounding context.
- Pasting plain text into the unescape action will fail unless it is a valid JSON string literal.
