What is the JSON Escape and Unescape Tool used for?
Escape special characters for JSON strings or decode escaped JSON text.

The best results come from understanding the input format and the limits of the calculation or conversion. The tool is intended for a focused browser workflow, not as a replacement for specialist professional software.
