Frequently Asked Questions

What does escaping a string mean? ▾

Escaping adds special marker characters (usually a backslash `\`) in front of symbols like quotes or newlines so that programming languages treat them as normal text rather than executable syntax commands.

Why do SQL strings need escaping? ▾

If a user inputs a single quote (`'`) into a SQL database query, it can prematurely end the command, leading to syntax errors or dangerous SQL Injection attacks. Escaping neutralizes the quote.

Does this handle JSON stringify? ▾

Yes! Selecting the JSON mode will properly escape double quotes, control characters, and newlines, ensuring your string is 100% valid for insertion into a JSON payload.
