Why?

The main feature of this tool is that it does not use JSON.parse/JSON.stringify which might cause unescaping of Unicode escaped characters. For example, the ampersand character could be written as & and as \u0026, and both values are equal.

const a = JSON.parse(`"&"`);
const b = JSON.parse(`"\\u0026"`);

console.log('a', a);
console.log('b', b);
console.log('is equal', a === b);

The result is:

a &
b &
is equal true

This tool does not change values and leaves them as they are written.
