JSON Escape

Escape any string so it can be embedded safely inside a JSON value. Quotes, backslashes, newlines, tabs, and control characters are handled. Runs in your browser. No data sent anywhere.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Paste raw text

    Any string. HTML, code, logs, multi-line content.

  2. 2

    Escape runs live

    Output updates as you type, no button needed.

  3. 3

    Copy and embed

    Paste the escaped string between double quotes in your JSON.

Use Cases

  • Embed HTML in JSON

    Paste an HTML snippet into a JSON API payload without breaking the outer quotes.

  • Test fixture payloads

    Escape log lines or error messages before embedding in a JSON test fixture.

  • Mock API responses

    Escape multi-line content for mock servers like Mirage or MSW.

  • Playwright assertions

    Escape expected text values for `expect(locator).toHaveText("…")` in test files.

Frequently Asked Questions

It transforms a raw string into a sequence safe to embed inside a JSON string literal. Special characters, double quotes, backslashes, newlines, tabs, and control characters, are replaced with their JSON escape sequences (e.g. `"` becomes `\"`, newline becomes `\n`).
Whenever you need to embed text inside a JSON string. Pasting HTML, code snippets, log lines, or error messages into a JSON payload, test fixture, or API request body. Escaping prevents the inner quotes and newlines from breaking the outer JSON.
No. The tool returns just the escaped content. Add your own surrounding `"…"` when embedding it in JSON. If you want a fully-quoted JSON string literal, use the Unescape tool in reverse.
Yes. Standard Unicode characters pass through as-is. Control characters and characters that JSON requires to be escaped (U+0000 to U+001F) are converted to `\uXXXX` form.
No. The transformation runs entirely in your browser. No network calls, no logging, no storage.
Yes. The escaped output is also valid inside JavaScript and TypeScript double-quoted string literals, so you can paste it directly into test assertions and mock payloads.
