Expert FAQ
- What does "unescaping" mean?
Strings often contain backslashes before quotes to represent them as data. Unescaping removes these and parses the content into a real JSON object. - Can it fix broken JSON strings?
It handles most standard escaping formats and can often recover JSON from within single-quoted string wrappers.
Technical Details
String to JSON conversion uses JSON.parse() internally. It first attempts to unwrap the string if it's double-escaped and then converts the resulting text into a JavaScript object structure. This is the reverse of JSON.stringify(). Once parsed, you can beautify the result with our JSON Formatter or check for syntax issues with the JSON Validator.
