As has been mentioned by others, a forward slash is not a special character inside a string, in PHP or in Javascript and since JSON is derived from Javascript it follows the same rules for string interpolation. The reason you think you need to escape the slash is due to a subtle difference in the way PHP and Javascript interpolate superfluous forward slashes.
