String escaping is the process of converting special characters in a string into escape sequences that can be safely used in code. For example, a newline character becomes '\n' in JavaScript, and a quote becomes '\"' to prevent breaking the string.
The tool supports JavaScript (for JS strings), HTML (for HTML entities), JSON (for JSON strings), Regex (for regular expressions), and URL (for URL encoding). Each type handles escaping differently based on the context.
Use string escaping when you need to safely include special characters in code strings, HTML content, JSON data, regular expressions, or URLs. It prevents syntax errors and security issues like injection attacks.
