Load an example or paste your data to begin.
How to use JSON Escape / Unescape
- Paste a quoted JSON string, or load a local file.
- Choose Unescape to decode one layer, or Escape to encode your JSON text.
- Review the output before copying or downloading it.
What to expect
Unescape requires outer double quotes and a decoded value that is valid JSON. Each click handles one layer. Escape preserves your input text, including whitespace, inside the generated string.
