FAQ

What is the difference between JSON and JavaScript escaping?

JSON escaping wraps your text in double quotes and produces a complete, valid JSON string value (the same thing JSON.stringify makes). JavaScript escaping only adds the backslashes — it escapes backslashes, both kinds of quotes, newlines, carriage returns and tabs — so you can paste the result inside your own quotes in code.

What does Unescape do?

It reverses the escaping. For JSON it parses a quoted string back to its real characters; for JavaScript it turns sequences like \n, \t, \", \\ and \uXXXX back into the characters they stand for.

Is anything uploaded?

No — it runs in your browser. Your text never leaves your device and is never sent to a server, so it works offline and stays completely private.
