Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSON escaping?

JSON escaping adds backslashes before special characters like quotes, newlines, and tabs so the string is valid inside JSON.

When do I need to escape for HTML?

Always escape user-generated content before inserting it into HTML to prevent XSS attacks.
