Frequently asked questions
What is JSON Encode used for?
Use it when an API field, a config value, or a log line must contain your text as a JSON string.
How do I use the free online JSON Encode tool?
Fill in Text. This field is required. Click Run and copy the result under the form.
What can I paste or upload into JSON Encode?
Paste the raw text. It is encoded as one JSON string and is not parsed as JSON first.
What output does JSON Encode give me?
A JSON string including the surrounding quotes. Newlines become \n. Quotes and backslashes are escaped. Angle brackets and ampersands stay as characters.
Is JSON Encode free, and is my input private?
Yes — Your input is processed in memory for this request only. It is not saved to disk or the database, and it is cleared after the tool finishes.
How is this different from JSON String Escape?
Both wrap text as a JSON string. JSON Encode leaves <, >, and & as themselves. JSON String Escape writes those characters as unicode escapes.
Inputs are processed in memory only and are not saved to disk or the database. Data exists only for the duration of your request.
