How is this different from the JSON Formatter?

The JSON Formatter tidies or minifies an entire JSON object, while this tool escapes plain text into a single JSON string (or restores it back).

Does it handle text with line breaks?

Yes. They're automatically escaped as \n and converted into a single-line JSON string.

Is the text I enter sent to a server?

No. It's processed entirely in your browser using JSON.stringify/JSON.parse.

Example

Input

Status: "OK"
