About this tool
Reverses JSON string escaping, turning \n, \t, \" and \uXXXX sequences back into the characters they represent. Useful for reading a JSON string that was itself stored inside another JSON document.
Questions
- My input has doubled backslashes.
- It was escaped twice, which happens when a JSON document is embedded in another as a string. Run it through twice.
