Problems recognizing and/or reformatting escapes

[mattfenwick]

I've noticed a couple of issues in the reformatted output when there's escapes in the input:

1. disappearing slashes. This represents a two-character string, not a newline escape:

   • in: "\\n"
   • expected out: "\\n"
   • actual out: "\n"

   This also happens for b, r, f, and t.

2. unexpected slashes.

   • in: "\u0066"
   • expected out: "f" (or "\u0066")
   • actual out: "\\u0066"

Can anyone please take a look at this?

I have the same problem:

in: "\u00e9\u00e9"
expected: "éé"
actual: "\\u00e9\\u00e9"

It works perfect when using the webiste: http://www.jsonlint.com

👍 - this just screwed my config as well, would be great to be fixed.

Same problem.

echo "C:\\example\\raw.dat">test.json
jsonlint test.json

Expected output: "C:\\example\\raw.dat"
Actual output: "C:\\example\raw.dat"
