JSON.parse not working with escaped quotes

Question

The following code is throwing an error:

alert(JSON.parse('{"name":"Quick Write  \"English\"","category":"qwer"}'));
/*
{
    "name": "Quick Write  \"English\"",
    "category":"qwer"
}
*/

It says

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token E in JSON at position 23

How do I make escaped quotes work?

Answer 1

I believe you can use double \ instead of \

let x = '{"name":"Quick Write  \\"English\\"","category":"qwer"}';
console.log(JSON.parse(x));
