Are there any classes/functions available to be used for easy JSON escaping? I'd rather not have to write my own.

You can escape String in Java by putting a backslash in double quotes e.g. " can be escaped as \" if it occurs inside String itself. This is ok for a small JSON String but manually replacing each double quote with an escape character for even a medium-size JSON is time taking, boring, and error-prone.
In the platform, the backslash character ( \ ) is used to escape values within strings. The character following the escaping character is treated as a string literal.
In JSON the only characters you must escape are \, ", and control codes. Thus in order to escape your structure, you'll need a JSON specific function.
I use System.Web.HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode
string quoted = HttpUtility.JavaScriptStringEncode(input); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
