I am find in the latest version of ML 6.0-3.2 xdmp:to-json is not escaping 
backslashes correctly.  Whenever there are more than one backslashes next to 
each other it fails to escape correctly.  This is causing problems because 
depending on the text it produces invalid json.

Thanks,
-Will

Testing script:

xquery version "1.0-ml";

for $i in 1 to 10
let $string := fn:string-join( for $j in 1 to $i return '\', '')
let $json := xdmp:to-json($string)
return (
  fn:concat("String", $i, ": ", $string, " Json: ", $json,  " Slashes: ", 
(fn:string-length($json) - 2 ))
                                                                                
                                                (: substring quotes :)
)
