About String Escaping/Unescaping
What is String Escaping?
String escaping is the process of adding escape characters to special characters in a string so they can be properly interpreted in specific contexts like JSON, HTML, or URLs. This prevents parsing errors and security issues such as code injection.
Types of Escaping
- JSON: Escapes quotes, backslashes, and control characters
- HTML: Converts characters like <, >, & to HTML entities
- URL: Encodes special characters for use in URLs
Common Use Cases
- Preparing strings for inclusion in JSON data
- Making text safe for HTML output (preventing XSS attacks)
- Encoding parameters for URL query strings
- Working with APIs that require escaped inputs
- Debugging issues with improperly escaped strings
- Processing user input for storage or transmission
