All processing happens locally in your browser. Large files are handled in memory and never uploaded to any server.
JSON Escape — No Uploads Required
Easily convert JSON into a string-safe format for use in languages like Java, C#, or JavaScript strings. The Escape tool adds necessary backslashes to quotes and special characters. The Unescape tool does the opposite, taking a string-encoded JSON and turning it back into a valid, readable JSON object.
