if you want to escape double quote in JSON use \\ to escape it.

example if you want to create json of following javascript object

{time: '7 "o" clock'}

then you must write in following way

'{"time":"7 \\"o\\" clock"}'

if we parse it using JSON.parse()

JSON.parse('{"time":"7 \\"o\\" clock"}')

result will be

{time: "7 "o" clock"}

It s showing the backslash because you re also escaping the backslash    Aside from double quotes  you must also escape backslashes if you want to include one in your JSON quoted string  However if you intend to use a backslash in an escape sequence  obviously you shouldn t escape it

When and where to use      instead  OK if you are like me you will feel just as silly as I did when I realized what I was doing after I found this thread   If you re making a  json text file stream and importing the data from there then the main stream answer of just one backslash before the double quotes    is the one you re looking for   However if you re like me and you re trying to get the w3schools com  Tryit Editor  to have a double quotes in the output of the JSON parse text   then the one you re looking for is the triple backslash double quotes       This is because you re building your text string within an HTML  lt script gt  block  and the first double backslash inserts a single backslash into the string variable then the following backslash double quote inserts the double quote into the string so that the resulting script string contains the    from the standard answer and the JSON parser will parse this as just the double quotes    lt script gt    var text        text      quip       If nobody is listening  then you  re likely talking to the wrong audience           text           var obj JSON parse text    lt  script gt     1  since it s a JavaScript text string  a double backslash double quote     would work too  because the double quote does not need escaped within a single quoted string eg      and     result in the same JS string

Note that this most often occurs when the content has been  double encoded   meaning the encoding algorithm has accidentally been called twice   The first call would encode the  text2  value   FROM  Heute startet unsere Rundreise  Example text   Jeden Tag wird ein neues Reiseziel angesteuert bis wir    TO  Heute startet unsere Rundreise   Example text    Jeden Tag wird ein neues Reiseziel angesteuert bis wir    A second encoding then converts it again  escaping the already escaped characters   FROM  Heute startet unsere Rundreise   Example text    Jeden Tag wird ein neues Reiseziel angesteuert bis wir   TO  Heute startet unsere Rundreise     Example text      Jeden Tag wird ein neues Reiseziel angesteuert bis wir   So  if you are responsible for the implementation of the server here  check to make sure there aren t two steps trying to encode the same content
