Why does JSON encoder adds escaping character when encoding URLs?

Question

I am using json_encode in PHP to encode an URL

$json_string = array (\'myUrl\'=> \'http://example.com\');
echo json_encode ($json_string);
         


        

Answer 1

I think this solves your problem

json_encode ($json_string, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES );

You can see the documentation:
