How to Convert String to JSON - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your JSON String

Start by entering your escaped JSON string that needs to be parsed back into proper JSON format:

•
Paste escaped string: Copy JSON strings from API responses, database fields, or log files
•
Upload string files: Select .txt files containing escaped JSON strings
•
Use sample string: Click "Sample" to load example escaped JSON and see parsing in action 🔄

Example: Escaped JSON String Input

Here's a typical escaped JSON string ready for parsing:

"{\"product\":\"Laptop Pro\",\"price\":1299.99,\"specs\":{\"cpu\":\"Intel i7\",\"ram\":\"16GB\",\"storage\":\"512GB SSD\"},\"available\":true,\"tags\":[\"electronics\",\"computers\",\"premium\"]}"}
Step 2

Automatic JSON Parsing

The tool automatically parses your escaped string back into proper JSON format using JSON.parse() methodology:

•
Unescape characters: Converts escaped quotes, backslashes, and control characters back to normal
•
Restore structure: Rebuilds proper JSON hierarchy with correct formatting
•
Syntax validation: Ensures the resulting JSON is valid and properly formatted

Example: Parsed JSON Output

The escaped string, now parsed back to readable JSON: ✨

{
  "product": "Laptop Pro",
  "price": 1299.99,
  "specs": {
    "cpu": "Intel i7",
    "ram": "16GB",
    "storage": "512GB SSD"
  },
  "available": true,
  "tags": [
    "electronics",
    "computers",
    "premium"
  ]
}
Step 3
