Escaped characters in API Responses

The syntax of some API responses may contain the escape character, \ (backslash). An escape character indicates that the character or string of characters that immediately follow the escaped character have a special value. For example, \t tells the reading device that t should be interpreted as tab and not as the letter “t”. A string of one or more characters following the backslash is called an escape sequence.

Hexadecimal escaped sequences require the use of valid hexadecimal digits. The following table lists the escape sequences that are encoded in Adobe Workfront API responses:

Escape Sequence	Unicode Character	Represents
\u000x Where, x is the hexadecimal code for numbers 0 through 7	0-7	Unicode characters represented by code points 0 through 7
\b	8	Backspace
\t	9	Tab
\n	10	New line
\u000b	11	Vertical tab
\f	12	Form feed
\r	13	Carriage return
\u00xx Where, xx is the hexadecimal code for numbers 14 through 31	14 - 31	Unicode characters represented by code points 14 through 31
\/	47	/ (Forward slash)
\u003c	60	< (Less than)
\\	92	\ (Back slash)
\uxxxx Where, xxxx is the hexadecimal code for any number over 127	128+	Unicode characters for any code point over 127
