Frequently Asked Questions
What does unescaping do?
It converts escape sequences back into the characters they represent, such as turning a backslash n into a real line break.
Which escapes are supported?
The common JSON escapes for quote, backslash, slash, newline, tab, return, and four digit unicode sequences.
How is this different from prettify?
Prettify formats a whole JSON document. Unescape works on a single string value that was escaped for embedding.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so the JSON you paste is never uploaded.
Is it free?
Yes. Every tool here is free to use with no sign up.
