How to properly wrap file path?

Question

Python

Hey! I ran into a problem, how to wrap
the path to the file so that the backslash does not escape?
I know it's common to add " r " to the beginning of the path, but how do I
write that inside the json file?

Answer 1

You need to double the slashes, since they are also required to be escaped in json.

>>> data = {"path": r"C:\Test\123"}
>>> data
{'path': 'C:\\Test\\123'}
>>> print(json.dumps(data))
{"path": "C:\\Test\\123"}
