JSON.stringify doesn't escape?

Question

I'm using `JSON.stringify? to stringify an object, but the quotes are not escaped? Am I misunderstanding that it's suppose to escape the quotes?

This is outputted into the template without any of the quotes being escaped:

{"console":{"free":false}} 

Answer 1

stringify the object twice does the trick

console.log(JSON.stringify(JSON.stringify({"console":{"free":false}}))); // "{\"console\":{\"free\":false}}" 

Answer 2

It doesn't escape characters, no, there's encodeURIComponent for that, and you can use them together, as in encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(obj))
