Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use JavaScript escaping?
Use escaping when you need to place text safely inside JavaScript string literals or transport strings containing special characters.
Why does unescape show an error for some input?
Invalid or incomplete escape sequences can't be parsed as valid JavaScript strings. Correct the malformed sequence and try again. For encoding data for URLs, check out the JSON URL Encode tool.
