Frequently Asked Questions
Why escape JSON?
In JSON, keys and values must be wrapped in double quotes. If your data *contains* a double quote, the parser thinks the string has ended, causing a crash. Escaping tells the parser 'treat this as text, not code'.
Is this basically JSON.stringify()?
Yes! This provides a web interface for the standard stringification process, allowing you to quickly process text without opening a console.
