More about the JSON Escape/Unescape
Putting a JSON string inside another string, a JSON literal in someone else's document, a payload embedded in a shell command, a blob stored as a single value in a config file, means every quote and backslash inside that JSON needs escaping so the outer context doesn't misread it as the end of the string. This tool handles that specific character-level escaping: turn raw JSON into an escaped version safe to drop inside another string, or reverse it, unescaping a string back into readable JSON when it arrives in escaped form and needs to actually be read or edited. It's a different job than formatting or validating structure; the content stays the same JSON, just represented as characters instead of a live object. Useful for debugging a webhook payload that arrives double-encoded, or preparing a value to embed safely inside a shell script or another document.
