Parsing JSON containing new line characters [duplicate]

Answer 1

Try:

JSON.parse('{"hallo":"line1\\r\\nline2","a":[5.5,5.6,5.7]}');

Answer 2

Yes, you should escape both \n and \r as they belong to the list of control characters. Full list of characters that need to be escaped can be found here. Your code would be

obj = JSON.parse('{"hallo":"line1\\r\\nline2","a":[5.5,5.6,5.7]}');
