What this tool does

Turns multi-line text into a JSON string literal, or converts one back. Use it when newlines and quotes need escaping.

How to use it

  1. Paste the text.
  2. Choose the direction: encode to escape, decode to restore.
  3. Run it and copy the result.

Worked example

Encoding a two-line text gives a single-line string with the newline written as \n. Decoding restores the two lines.

Frequently asked questions

Why is escaping needed?
A JSON string cannot contain raw newlines or quotes. Escaping is required to embed multi-line text in a config file or an API request body.
My backslashes doubled.
That is correct — a backslash is itself escaped, so it appears as \\. Decoding returns it to one.

What this tool does not cover

Input is processed in your browser. It handles a single string and does not validate a whole JSON document.
