Escjson

This function replaces characters in a string, which are not allowed to appear in a JSON string, with their respective escape sequence.

Syntax

The implementation of the escJson function follows the JSON data interchange syntax standard (ECMA-404 Standard, 2nd Edition from December 2017).

A string is a sequence of Unicode code points wrapped with quotation marks (U+0022). You can place all code points within quotation marks except for code points that must be escaped:

• Quotation mark (U+0022)
• Reverse solidus (U+005C)
• Control characters from U+0000 to U+001F

Examples

Local Char MYCONSTANT(100),JSONCONSTANT(100)MYCONSTANT='This is an "example" with back\slashes'JSONCONSTANT='"myconstant" : "'+escJson(MYCONSTANT)+'"'# Now JSONCONSTANT contains '"myconstant" : "This is an \"example\" with back\\slashes"'
