Escaping strings in JSON

Question

How do I escape the String fields while creating the JSON data manually? I was trying to use SEU but its not escaping the quotes that is wrapping the string. Please help!

Answer 1

You can find a JSON library in your language that you can feed some appropriate data structure to, and let it work for you.

In JSON the only characters you must escape are \, ", and control codes. Thus in order to escape your structure, you'll need a JSON specific function. As you might know, all of the escapes can be written as \uXXXX where XXXX is the UTF-16 code unit¹ for that character.

Hope this helps!
