Escape JSON

Escape JSON converts special characters in JSON to safe, escaped strings. Perfect for embedding JSON into JavaScript, HTML, or logs.

Paste your input above or import a file below.
No file chosen
Supported file types: .txt, .csv, .tsv, .log, .json, .xml, .md, .ini, .yaml, .yml, .html, .htm, .css
Total characters: 0

How to Use:

Paste your JSON into the left-hand box or import it from a file using “Choose File.” The tool parses your input and escapes characters like quotes, backslashes, newlines, and tabs. You’ll see the encoded result instantly on the right. Use the live character counter to keep track of output length. When you’re ready, hit “Copy Output” or “Export to File.” You can also tap “Clear All” to start fresh.

What Escape JSON can do:

Escape JSON makes your data safe for use in places where raw JSON would break like JavaScript string assignments, HTML attributes, or code logs. It escapes quotes, slashes, newlines, carriage returns, and tabs, so your JSON stays intact when passed through code, config, or embedded content. It doesn’t change the structure it just sanitizes the format.

Example:

Input:

{
  "text": "Line1\nLine2",
  "quote": "She said: \"Hello\""
}

Output:

{\"text\":\"Line1\\nLine2\",\"quote\":\"She said: \\\"Hello\\\"\"}

Common Use Cases:

Escape JSON is ideal for logging structured data inside strings, embedding config in templates, or preparing payloads to inject into scripts. It keeps formatting clean and prevents syntax issues in environments where raw control characters or quotes could break execution. Use it when safety and consistency matter.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

Before slipping JSON into a string or script, it should be processed with JSON Stringify Text to handle all the internal quotes and slashes. Then, for extra safety in a browser context, HTML Escape/Unescape can be applied so nothing breaks on render.
