<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">In a string you need to escape the quotes so that the parser can know<br>
when the string ends. This is required in essentially any programming<br>
language. In some languages you may be able to use a different quote<br>
character for your string, but in Erlang there is only one so<br>
embedding strings with lots of quotes does look noisy. In practice<br>
this isn't a problem because most of your JSON is going to be coming<br>
from the network or disk and not embedded in Erlang source strings.<br>
