ABOUT

This page provides a specialized tool for unescaping JSON strings. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format, as defined by json.org. When working with JSON, you often encounter escaped characters that need to be converted back to their readable form.

JSON unescaping handles various escape sequences according to the JSON specification. For example, \n becomes a newline, \t becomes a tab, and \" becomes a double quote. This is particularly useful when dealing with JSON data that contains escaped quotes, newlines, or Unicode characters.

For details of supported JSON escape sequences and their rules, see the About section of our JSON Escape tool.

As part of StringFlux, this tool can be chained with other operations for more complex transformations. For instance, you can unescape a JSON string and then format it, or escape it back to its original form. If you need to work with general strings (not just JSON), check out our String Unescape Tool.
