How would I escape space characters in a JSON string? Basically my problem is that I’ve gotten into a situation where the program that reads the string can use HTML tags for formatting, but I need to be able to use these HTML tags without adding more spaces to the string. so things like

<u>text</u>

is fine, for adding underline formatting

but something like

<font size="14">text</font>

is not fine, because the <font> tag with the size attribute adds an extra space to the string. I know, funny criteria, but at this point thats what has happened.

My first speculative solution would be to have some kind of \escape character that JSON can put in between font and size that will solve my “space” problems, something that the HTML will ignore but leave the human readable string in the code without actual spaces.

 ex. <font\&size="14">text</font>

displays as: text

kind of like &nbsp; but better?

any solutions?

    You can use \u0020 to escape the ‘ ‘ character in JSON.
