is optional. The only thing I can find are suggestions that some

the search and replace, like this:

Don't do that, it\\\/s unsafe.
Also, there's absolutely no reason to strip backslash escapes from
slashes (no unless one is spectacularly OCD). While escaping slashes is
only actually needed when embedding JSON code inside
<script>...</script> elements, they are always syntactically valid. (See
<http://json.org> for a description of JSON syntax.)
If the "JSON" parser consuming the OP's data is choking on these escaped
slashes, the OP should file a bug report because that parser is
defective [1], and/or switch to using a JSON parser that works right.

ever devised. Then again, "Web Industry".)
