What is String Escaping?
 
Escaping converts special characters into safe sequences so they can be stored or transmitted without breaking syntax. For example, a quote inside a string becomes \" in JSON.
 
What is it used for?
 
     
  • JSON: Escape quotes, backslashes, newlines in string values
    •  
  • SQL: Escape single quotes to prevent injection
    •  
  • HTML: Escape special chars for safe display
    •  
  • Regex: Escape metacharacters like .*+?^$()
    •  
 
How it works
 
Select the format (JSON, HTML, SQL, Regex), then click Escape or Unescape. The tool handles the conversion for that format. Unescape reverses the process.
