How to Stringify Text for JSON
When you need to embed a multi-line string or text with special characters (like quotes or backslashes) inside a JSON object, you must "escape" it to create a valid JSON string. This tool does that for you automatically.
- Enter Raw Text: Paste any block of text into the "Raw Text Input" field. This can include newlines, quotes, and other special characters.
- Generate: Click "Stringify Text". The tool will process your text and produce a single-line, valid JSON string in the output box, with all necessary characters properly escaped.
- Copy: You can then copy this output and paste it directly as a value in your JSON file or object.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What does "escaping" a string mean?
A: In the context of JSON, escaping means placing a backslash `\` before characters that have a special meaning. For example, a newline becomes `\n`, a tab becomes `\t`, and a double quote inside the string becomes `\"`. This tells the JSON parser to treat them as part of the string, not as syntax.
Q: Why can't I just put multi-line text in my JSON?
A: The JSON specification does not allow for literal, unescaped newlines within a string value. All line breaks must be represented by the `\n` character sequence to be considered valid.
