ABOUT

This page provides a specialized tool for unescaping JSON strings. In JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), certain characters are escaped using backslashes to ensure valid formatting. This includes characters like quotes, newlines, tabs, and Unicode symbols. When reading or processing JSON data, it is often necessary to convert these escaped sequences back to their original, human-readable form.

The following escape sequences are commonly found in JSON and are supported by this tool:

EscapeMeaningExample (Escaped)Result (Unescaped)
\"Double quote"Say \"Hi\""Say "Hi"
\\Backslash"Path: C:\\Users"Path: C:\Users
\/Forward slash"https:\/\/a.com"https://a.com
\tTab"Col1\tCol2"Col1 Col2

This tool automatically decodes these escape sequences to restore the original string content, making it ideal for developers working with JSON logs, API responses, configuration files, or raw data.

As part of the StringFlux suite, this tool can be chained with other operations for advanced transformations.

For a full reference of escape rules, see our JSON Escape Tool.
