About the String Escape Tool
The String Escape tool helps you encode or decode strings by converting special characters into safe, escaped formats. This is especially useful when working with JSON, JavaScript, HTML, or programming languages where characters like quotes, slashes, or newlines may cause errors.
Why use a String Escape tool?
- Prevent syntax errors caused by unescaped characters
- Encode strings safely for JSON or JavaScript variables
- Unescape data retrieved from APIs or databases
- Save time when handling special characters in code
How to use the tool
- Paste or type your string into the input field.
- Click Escape to convert special characters into safe sequences.
- Click Unescape to decode back to the original text.
Examples
Original string: {"name": "Alex", "note": "He said: "Hi!""}
Escaped: {\"name\": \"Alex\", \"note\": \"He said: \\\"Hi!\\\"\"}
Tips
- Use escaping before saving strings in JSON files or databases.
- Unescape API responses when you need human-readable text.
- Remember: escaping rules may differ between programming languages.
