What is Backslash Escape
The Backslash Escape tool adds or removes C-style backslash escaping from strings. It escapes special characters: \n (newline), \t (tab), \" (quote), \\ (backslash), and others. This is essential for embedding strings in JavaScript, Python, C, and other languages that use backslash escaping in string literals.
