Where do those two extra backslashes in front of the slash come from? Is this intended?

Thanks,

Json allows / in strings, but if I am reading the diagram on json.org correctly prefers that it is prefixed by a backslash like this / . Probably prefered, because why would it be in the list of backslashed characters otherwise? See the mentioning about solidus in the string diagram. I don't really know why.

And the first backslash is the lisp backslash for the backslash character. So it is valid JSON, and probably prefered to /.
