JSON Escaper

This tool escapes raw text so it’s safe to include inside JSON strings. It converts quotes, backslashes, newlines, and tabs into their escaped forms (\”, \\, \n, \t), so you can drop the result directly into JSON files or JavaScript code. You can paste or import any text, toggle which characters get escaped, and instantly view the result with no reloads.

What the JSON Escaper Tool can do:

It takes unstructured or plain text and makes it JSON-compatible by escaping problematic characters. This is useful when embedding logs, messages, or raw strings inside JSON or JS code. You control which characters are escaped, and the live preview helps you verify the result before copying or exporting it.

Example:

Input:

This is "quoted" text
with newlines
and	tabs.

Output:

This is \"quoted\" text\nwith newlines\nand\\ttabs.

Common Use Cases:

Use this when preparing content to embed inside JSON strings, API responses, or JavaScript variables. It’s ideal for developers, data engineers, or anyone needing to programmatically handle raw text. It saves time and helps avoid common syntax errors by making sure your strings are properly escaped.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

If you’re prepping content for structured output, JSON Stringify Text helps wrap your data in valid JSON format perfect for APIs, logs, or storage. And when you want to check or extract that content later, JSON to Text Converter lets you break it back into something readable for review or edits.
