If a value is itself JSON-encoded text, recursively parse it into nested JSON instead of leaving it as a string.

Use Escape to turn raw text into a safely-quotable string, or Unescape to turn escape sequences back into the characters they represent. It works on any text, not just JSON, and runs entirely in your browser.
Escaping converts special characters — double quotes, backslashes, newlines, tabs — into escape sequences like \", \\, \n and \t, so the text can be safely embedded inside a JSON string or a code literal.
Unescaping is the reverse: it turns \n, \t, \", \uXXXX and similar sequences back into real characters, so you can read text that was stored in escaped form.
No. It handles arbitrary text. If the input isn't strictly valid JSON-escaped content, a lenient decoder resolves the escape sequences it recognizes and leaves everything else untouched, so ordinary prose with stray quotes or backslashes still works.
Yes. Nothing is uploaded — all escaping and unescaping happens locally in your browser.
