Usage guide

Decode one JSON string layer to recover readable text and nested JSON.

  1. 01

    Paste data or read from a file.

  2. 02

    Review the options; results update automatically. Run manually for larger inputs, and check warnings before applying changes.

Example input

"{\"name\":\"Ada\",\"active\":true}"

Frequently asked questions

Can I recover my documents after closing the page?

Documents are saved automatically in this browser and restored when you return. Closing a document with X deletes it. Browser cleanup can also remove saved work; download important results or export your workspace.

What input can be unescaped?

Enter a valid JSON string literal. The tool removes one layer of escaping; other JSON values are rejected.
