I'm using std.json for the first time. I want to download the contents

are escaped, which I don't want. Here's an example:
import std.conv, std.json, std.stdio;
void main() {
string data =
"This is a paragraph
with line breaks
that shouldn't appear
when the file is loaded
in a text editor.";
string msg = JSONValue(["markdown": data]).toString;
string msg2 = parseJSON(msg)["markdown"].to!string;
writeln(data);
writeln(msg2);

Output:

"This is a paragraph\nwith line breaks\nthat shouldn't appear\nwhen the
file is loaded\nin a text editor."
You'll need to unescape them (which is pretty easy, a simple replacement
here).
For reference, this is invalid json[0]:
```
{
"1
2
3 "
}
```
