$oSb = ObjCreate("Chilkat.StringBuilder")

$oSb.Append("backslash: \\, A: \u0041")
ConsoleWrite($oSb.GetAsString() & @CRLF)

;  The output is:
;     backslash: \\, A: \u0041

;  The keyword "json" can be used
;  to escape and unescape.  To escape is to encode.  To unescape is to decode.

;  Unescape (decode) the string in sb.
$oSb.Decode("json","utf-8")
ConsoleWrite($oSb.GetAsString() & @CRLF)

;  After JSON unescaping:
;     backslash: \, A: A

;  Now JSON escape the string.
$oSb.Encode("json","utf-8")
ConsoleWrite($oSb.GetAsString() & @CRLF)

;  After JSON escaping:
;     backslash: \\, A: A

;  Note: The "A" is not escaped to "\u0041" because there is no need.
;  The "\uXXXX" format would be produced for non-printable control chars.
