"JSONify String" takes a plain string and encodes it as a JSON string literal — adding surrounding double-quotes and escaping any characters that would break JSON parsing: double-quotes become \", backslashes become \\, newlines become \n, tabs become \t, carriage returns become \r, and other control characters get their Unicode escape sequences.
This is equivalent to calling JSON.stringify(yourString) in JavaScript. The result is a string that can be safely pasted as a value inside a JSON document. The tool is the inverse of JSON.parse — use it when you have raw text and need to turn it into something JSON-safe.

- Converting a code snippet (with quotes) into a JSON-safe string for embedding in a config file.
