? What is Slash Unescaping?
Slash unescaping is the process of converting escaped characters (like \' or \") back to their original form. This is essential when reading data from databases, configuration files, or code strings where special characters were previously escaped for safety or syntax requirements.
Our tool provides a simple way to reverse this process, allowing you to quickly restore the original text from its escaped version.
! When to use this tool?
- Restoring strings from SQL dumps or database records.
- Decoding JSON strings that contain escaped characters.
- Converting escaped file paths back to normal format.
- Cleaning up code snippets for better readability.
