Re: yajl_addchar issue with special char

[Nathan Andelin <nandelin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Escape sequences are delineated nicely at  https://www.json.org/json-en.html.
I like their documentation. Most sites that deal with JSON data have a
function that will transform escape sequences to their character
equivalents. But don't assume that the transformation will be automatic. A
JSON client might decide to store the JSON as is (including escape
sequences), rather than transform it first.
