Frequently asked questions
Whenever you embed text inside a JSON string by hand — in config files, API request bodies, code generators or log pipelines — special characters like quotes and newlines must be escaped.
Yes. Escaping follows the JSON specification, so emoji and non-Latin scripts round-trip correctly. Control characters become \uXXXX sequences.
