And my point is that when *I* see the string values, I see them in their
in-memory form. For example, for the < character, I see it as a <
character. This is perfectly legal in JSON which means I should do
*nothing* to it. Yet some other code downstream from me is converting
that to &lt;. My code isn't doing that so there's nothing for me to fix.

Title:
  JSON Module not escaping escape characters

Status in Zorba - The XQuery Processor:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The module doesn't convert escaped characters as you would expect. You instead get a string containing the string with it's unescaped value. A conversion needs to be implemented, something such as:
  JSON <-> XML
  \"    <-> &quot;
  \\    <-> \
  \/    <-> /
  \b    <-> &#x8;
  \f    <-> &#xC;
  \n    <-> *actual newline*
  \r    <-> *actual carriage return*
  \t    <-> '	'
  \u$$$$<-> &#x$$$$; or #$$$$$; with the correct hex-decimal conversion
  <     <-> &lt;
  >     <-> &gt;
  &     <-> &amp;
  '     <-> &apos;

  This proposition might create a regresion related to bug #866757.
