Javascript escaping escape characters!
Raw
JSescape.js
//
// I had a recent issue where I needed to escape carriage returns within a JSON object, or correctly, the JSON string itself.
// You can of course use the JSON stringify function to get a string representation and then you need to do the following
// to escape the "\n" carriage return sequence..
//
var stringifiedJSON = JSON.stringify(jsonData).replace(/\\n/g, "\\\\n");
//
// The above will globally (within the string) replace all \n with \\n which allows JS to store the carriage return.
